In the last two years (2025 & 2026), Djokovic has beaten both Jannik & Carlos.
Medvedev, Mensik, Cerundolo, Bublik, Lehecka, Norrie, Draper, Rune, Goffin, Korda etc all have wins against either Jannik or Carlos.
Guess who doesn't have a single win against either?
Novak Djokovic says for 99% of the players, reaching a Grand Slam final and a Grand Slam semifinal so far this year would be a very good result, but for him, it’s not enough
“At this point in your career, does it still remain about winning titles? Or can you leave a tournament like this with some satisfaction of being able to still compete at that high level and reach a semi of a major?”
Novak: “Last year I reached 4 semifinals. This year out of 3 Slams I reached 1 final and 1 semifinal. For 99% of players that would be a very good Grand Slam result, for me it’s not good enough. Because I’m blessed and cursed to be used to something of the highest degree in terms of results and achievements. In some way I’m also dealing with myself in a sense that I’m telling myself, look, this is amazing that you’re still able to play at such a high level and push the youngsters to the limit for Grand Slam titles.
But at the same time, I always have the highest expectations for myself. It’s kind of that internal battle of what I’ve been through for 20+ years of my career, what the goals were, the expectations.. and trying to also balance it out and trying to be a bit more humble in that sense. I still enjoy the thrill of competition. Maybe I don’t enjoy all the hard weeks leading up to big tournaments, putting myself over and over again through a lot of pain, physically mostly.
I’m glad that this tournament the body held pretty well. Pretty much every other tournament the last few years it was always something. I feel like when I’m healthy I’m still able to play as a top 5 player, still able to compete at the highest level. I like it. I like this life. Tennis has given me everything in my life and has allowed me an opportunity to become who I am. At the same time of course there’s always a question of how far do you wanna go, what you wanna play, how you wanna play, etc. I try to take it, in a sense, a day at a time and see how I feel.
I don’t have any pressure or no one is forcing me to play. I do it because I really want to and because I still can play as a top 5 player. Let’s see what’s the future brings.”

Djokovic on his future at #Wimbledon.
"I’d like to come back, at least 1 more time. Last year I reached 4 Slam SFs, and this year I’ve reached 1 final and 1 SF in 3 majors. For 99% of players, that would be fantastic. For me it’s good but not enough. I’m both blessed and cursed to be used to the highest level of results and achievements."
No man has won more matches at Wimbledon, ever.

🚨 Bastian Schweinsteiger on Jonathan Tah missing his penalty for Germany against Paraguay:
🗣️ “I honestly think that disallowed goal never left Jonathan Tah’s mind. Imagine believing you’ve scored the goal that sends your country through, celebrating with your teammates, and then having it taken away by VAR. Moments like that stay with you.”
“When he walked up to take that penalty, I don’t think he was completely free mentally. People will ask why he missed such a huge penalty, but football is psychological as much as it is technical. I genuinely believe that first goal being ruled out affected him. It would affect almost any player.”
“I won’t point the finger at Jonathan Tah because penalties are taken by brave players, not cowards. He had the courage to step forward when others could have hidden. But I can’t stop thinking that if that first goal had stood, Germany wouldn’t even have been in a penalty shootout. Football can be unbelievably cruel, and tonight Jonathan Tah suffered the harshest side of it.”
