“Novak Djokovic Equals Roger Federer’s First Round Record in Grand Slam Tournaments”

Novak Djokovic achieved an important victory in his debut in Roland Garros 2023 and in doing so he inscribed his name in the history books. The Serbian reached his 65th consecutive victory in the first rounds of tournaments in Grand Slam. Nole has not lost in his debut in a major tournament since the Australian Open 2006when he fell with the American Paul Goldstein with just 18 years. Thus, she equaled the record of Roger Federerwho accumulated the same number of first round wins between Wimbledon 2003 and 2021, the year in which he played his last Grand Slam tournament.

Djokovic will be able to surpass Federer’s record at Wimbledon, a tournament that he has won consecutively in the last four years, so it does not seem like something complicated. What about Rafael Nadal? In this statistic, the Spanish does not compete. He came to have 34 consecutive first round wins until his defeat in his debut at Wimbledon 2013 against Steve Darcis.
