Novak Djokovic Makes Tennis History with 90 Wins at Every Grand Slam

Novak Djokovic has etched his name further into the annals of tennis history with a remarkable achievement. On Wednesday night at the US Open, Djokovic secured his 90th career win at the tournament, defeating his fellow Serbian player Laslo Djere.

Djere, struggling with an injury, retired from the match while Djokovic was ahead 6-4, 6-4, 2-0. This victory not only added to Djokovic's impressive tally but also cemented his place in an exclusive club of tennis legends.

Djokovic's Historic Milestone

With this win, Djokovic has become the first player, male or female, to amass 90 or more victories at each of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The Serbian star now boasts an extraordinary record across the Grand Slam events: 94 wins at the Australian Open, 96 at Roland Garros, 97 at Wimbledon, and 90 at the US Open. This unprecedented feat places him in a league of his own, surpassing previous milestones set by legends of the game.

DJOKOVIC'S WIN-LOSS RECORD BY GRAND SLAM EVENT:

94-9 at Australian Open (10 titles)
96-16 at Roland Garros (3 titles)
97-12 at Wimbledon (7 titles)
90-13 at US Open (4 titles)

Overcoming Challenges

Djokovic's journey to this milestone was not without its hurdles. In their previous encounter at the US Open last year, Djere pushed Djokovic to five sets before ultimately falling short. Their rematch in this year's tournament seemed poised for a similar battle. After Djokovic narrowly claimed the first set, Djere took a break lead in the second set and had a chance to extend his advantage with double break points. However, Djokovic's resilience shone through as he rallied from the brink, ultimately winning the next six games.

In the second set, Djere showed signs of discomfort, appearing to struggle with an abdominal injury. Despite this setback, Djokovic seized the opportunity, ultimately causing Djere to retire from the match. This victory not only shows Djokovic's dominance but also his ability to capitalize on his opponents' misfortunes.

Next Steps for Djokovic

The defending champion, now eyeing a record 25th Grand Slam title, will face Australia's Alexei Popyrin in his next match. Djokovic has previously defeated Popyrin at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, with each match extending to four sets. As Djokovic continues to chase history, his performance at the US Open and beyond will be closely watched by tennis enthusiasts worldwide.

Novak Djokovic's achievement of 90 wins at each Grand Slam tournament stands as a testament to his enduring skill, consistency, and dominance in the sport. His latest victory at the US Open reinforces his status as one of tennis's all-time greats and sets the stage for more historic moments to come.
