Novak Djokovic

Much like Federer, Djokovic too did not have a long day in his 2017 debut. The Serb began his quest for a fourth Wimbledon crown, having had his confidence bolstered by the Eastbourne title that he clinched just a few days back.

A light workout was what he got as a left leg injury forced his opponent, Martin Klizan to retire when the scoreboard showed 6-3, 2-0 in Djokovic’s favour.

But with that, he earned another feat that he should be proud of. Under the watchful eyes of fellow Career Slammer Andre Agassi and former Wimbledon semi-finalist Mario Ancic, the 12-time Major winner shot off into the second place in the list of most Grand Slam victories with 234, overhauling Connors’ 233.

Only Federer is ahead of him with 315 wins.

That’s surely a very inspiring start for the World No. 4 who is desperately trying to get back his old, imperious self.
