Wimbledon Throne Slipping Away From Swiss King Roger Federer as Novak Djokovic Thumps Him to Sit Beside Idol Pete Sampras in a Staggering Stat

With the ongoing debate around Novak Djokovic being the undisputed GOAT, another feather of achievement has been added to his crown. The ATP World No.2 has recently achieved a remarkable milestone in his illustrious career. The Serbian superstar has equaled his childhood idol, Pete Sampras, in an important Wimbledon statistic, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. In doing so, Djokovic has also surpassed Swiss legend Roger Federer.

Djokovic’s accomplishment is even more impressive when considering the competition he has faced throughout his career. The “Big Three” of tennis, which includes Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal, have dominated the sport for over two decades, collectively amassing more than 60 Grand Slam titles.

Novak Djokovic surpasses the record of Federer and equals Pete Sampras

In such a fiercely competitive era, achieving a 90% winning percentage at Wimbledon is a testament to Djokovic’s immense skill, determination, and consistency. Pete Sampras, a 14-time Grand Slam champion, is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Known for his powerful serve and exceptional all-court game, Sampras held the record for the most Wimbledon titles (seven) until Federer surpassed him in 2017.

Djokovic has often spoken about Sampras being his childhood idol, and it is clear that the Serbian has taken inspiration from the American’s incredible career. Equaling Sampras’ Wimbledon winning percentage is not only a special accomplishment for Djokovic but also a symbolic moment in tennis history. Not just that, he also surpassed Swiss legend Roger Federer, whose winning percentage at the All England Club stands at 88.24%.

This achievement also adds fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) title in tennis. With Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal all boasting remarkable records and accomplishments, the race to be crowned the greatest tennis player of all time is far from over. Djokovic’s 90% career winning percentage at Wimbledon is just one of many factors that will be considered in this debate.
