Day 6 of Wimbledon 2025 brought landmark achievements, dominant performances, and thrilling battles, setting the tone for an intense second week of the tournament. With Novak Djokovic reaching an extraordinary milestone and Jannik Sinner continuing his dream run, fans were treated to a perfect blend of history and high-stakes drama.
Djokovic Reaches 100 Wins at Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic continued his reign at the All England Club by securing his 100th career match win at Wimbledon. In a commanding performance, he defeated compatriot Miomir Kecmanović 6–3, 6–0, 6–4 in under two hours on Centre Court. Djokovic joins the exclusive 100-win club at Wimbledon, alongside legends Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova.
His second-set performance, which included a clean 6–0 “bagel,” demonstrated not only his match fitness following recent injury concerns but also his mental sharpness and trademark precision. Now with five more wins needed to equal Federer’s Wimbledon match-win record of 105, Djokovic appears to be in peak form at just the right time.
Sinner’s Impressive Streak Continues
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner continued to steamroll his way through the draw with a dominant victory over Spain’s Pedro Martínez, winning 6–1, 6–3, 6–1. The Italian has now conceded just 17 games over his first three matches, setting a new record for the fewest games lost by a top seed in the first week of Wimbledon—surpassing even Federer’s previous mark.
Sinner’s commanding play, composed demeanor, and ruthless efficiency have quickly made him one of the leading contenders for the title. His serve, court coverage, and baseline aggression have blended seamlessly on the grass, raising expectations for a potential showdown with Djokovic later in the tournament.
Sonego vs Nakashima: The Match of the Tournament So Far
One of the most exciting and emotionally charged matches of the tournament took place on Court 12, where Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego outlasted American Brandon Nakashima in a five-set thriller. The match lasted nearly four hours and saw multiple shifts in momentum.
Sonego saved several break points late in the fifth set and ultimately dominated the deciding-set tiebreak. His passionate shot-making and crowd interaction made the contest one of the tournament’s most memorable so far. The Italian’s victory was a blend of mental fortitude and flashy power, securing his spot in the second week.
Steady Progress for Cilic and Dimitrov
Veteran Croatian Marin Cilic used his big-serving and grass-court experience to good effect, defeating Spain’s Jaume Munar in four sets to reach the fourth round. Cilic’s return to form has been one of the quieter but significant developments this year, especially after struggling with injuries over the past two seasons.
Meanwhile, Grigor Dimitrov overcame Austria’s Sebastian Ofner in straight sets. The Bulgarian’s smooth shot-making and versatility have allowed him to glide through the draw with minimal fuss, and he remains a dangerous presence in the second week.
