Wimbledon is Serbian turf once again! Novak Djokovic, our tennis king, showed no mercy to fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic, ranked 49th in the ATP. The score? A crushing 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 victory for Djokovic in the third round, proving why he remains the king of grass.
Kecmanovic could only say “bravo” and admit he was playing against the best version of Novak. And it wasn’t just a simple compliment – it was like fighting a tennis terminator who can play for five more hours without tiring!
What’s the difference? Novak’s serve is consistent, precise, and not overpowering, making it impossible to reach. Plus, his mix of play and mental strength is on a level that leaves opponents breathless. Kecmanovic admitted the biggest difference is physical fitness – while Novak can endure a marathon, he cannot.
Mental warfare on the court Kecmanovic pointed out that against lower-ranked players, it’s easy to win points, but against the big three – Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Sinner – there’s no letting up. They return shots even stronger, forcing you to maintain a high level throughout the match, mentally breaking you down.
Friends on the court? Though rivals, Djokovic and Kecmanovic are friends. They’ve known each other for a long time, train together, play doubles, Davis Cup, and the Olympics. Kecmanovic even said he’s glad he managed to “catch” Novak while he’s still on the court.
What’s next? Kecmanovic plans to continue playing tournaments on hard courts in North America – Washington, Toronto, Cincinnati, maybe Winston-Salem. He said he’ll see how much rest he gets from the coach, then decide where to play.
The bottom line? If Kecmanovic keeps learning from Novak and draws inspiration from matches like this, maybe one day he’ll win 20 Grand Slam titles too. But for now, Novak remains untouchable at Wimbledon.
So, what do you think? Who’s your pick to win this year? Will Novak keep dominating, or will one of the young guns finally topple the legend? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s rooting for who – and remember, tennis is war, and the court is the battlefield!
