Novak Djokovic
A Serbian great whose Wimbledon résumé is built on return quality, balance, and ruthless problem-solving under pressure.
Tournament note
Defeated Arthur Rinderknech in four sets on Centre Court to keep his grass-court campaign moving into the second week conversation.
Novak Djokovic is one of the defining players of modern tennis, known for elastic movement, elite returning, and an ability to turn defensive positions into controlled attacks. His game has translated across surfaces, but on grass his return position, serve precision, and balance in low-bouncing rallies make him especially difficult to rush.
At Wimbledon 2026, Djokovic remains one of the tournament's central storylines because every match carries both immediate stakes and historical weight. The grass rewards his clean first-strike patterns, but also tests how sharply he can manage younger, bigger-hitting opponents across long best-of-five sets.
