(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest tennis player of all time, Novak \u0110okovi\u0107, secured his place in the Wimbledon Round of 16 after defeating France&#8217;s Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6, taking another step toward his 25th Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the ninth consecutive year, we will see Novak among at least the last 16 at the legendary grass-court tournament (with the exception of the season in which the competition was not held).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0110okovi\u0107 dropped two sets on his way to the Round of 16, where he will face the surprise of the tournament, Roman Safiullin, who knocked out both Andrey Rublev and Jo\u00e3o Fonseca on his way to this stage of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest challenge for the Serbian star was the fact that he had never played against Rinderknech before. He certainly watched footage of him and went through a briefing with his team, but he still had to discover his opponent&#8217;s abilities on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nole only faltered at two moments, the first coming after breaking serve in the fifth game of the opening set, when he immediately allowed his opponent to break back for 3-3, and then throughout the entire third set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"tr\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udc4f HER \u0130K\u0130 TEN\u0130S\u00c7\u0130 DE MA\u00c7I YERDE B\u0130T\u0130RD\u0130&#8230; \u00c7OK DRAMAT\u0130K B\u0130R SON&#8230;<br><br>\ud83c\udfbe Novak Djokovic, 3 saat 1 dakika s\u00fcren ma\u00e7ta Arthur Rinderknech&#39;i 3-1 ma\u011flup ederek \u00fcst tura \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Wimbledon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Wimbledon<\/a><br><br>\ud83c\udd9a 5-7, 4-6, 6-1, 6-7<br><br>Novak, 105.

From 2-1 onward, he played with much greater confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He perhaps could have gone up 2-0 in sets even earlier, but after missing chances to make it 6-3, he held serve and wrapped up that part of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then came a set to forget. \u0110okovi\u0107 came close to allowing the Frenchman to win it 6-0, something that had never happened to him in a match on grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vintage Djokovic. \ud83c\udfbe\ud83d\udd25<br><br>Novak Djokovic unleashes a clinical winner before celebrating in trademark fashion, firing up Centre Court at a crucial stage of the opening set.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Wimbledon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Wimbledon<\/a> 2026 | LIVE NOW on Star Sports &amp; JioHotstar <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dNC7WAidYH\">pic.twitter.com\/dNC7WAidYH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StarSportsIndia\/status\/2073043375968960608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, at 0-5 and 0-30, he managed to hold serve and avoid being bageled. However, he could not prevent his opponent from reducing the deficit to 2-1 in sets. At one point, it seemed as though he had consciously conceded the set, as he did not have many chances to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth set turned into a trench battle. There was not a single break point until the 12th game, when Novak managed to shorten the agony and put an end to a very difficult contest that threatened to become even tougher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be that as it may, it is now time to rest, and then look ahead to Sunday, when the Round of 16 matches will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-karadordevics-awoke-the-diaspora-in-chicago-serbia-should-return-to-its-tradition-to-be-a-monarchy-again-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE KARA\u0110OR\u0110EVI\u0106S AWOKE THE DIASPORA IN CHICAGO: \u201cSerbia should return to its tradition, to be a monarchy again!\u201d (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-among-the-victims-in-a-plane-crash-skydiving-instructor-filip-kovacevic-killed-in-an-accident-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIAN AMONG THE VICTIMS IN A PLANE CRASH: Skydiving instructor Filip Kova\u010devi\u0107 killed in an accident in France!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/if-he-does-not-give-up-he-is-going-to-the-cemetery-kokeza-hired-criminals-to-attack-nemanja-vidic-scandalous-messages-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cIF HE DOES NOT GIVE UP, HE IS GOING TO THE CEMETERY\u201d: Kokeza hired criminals to attack Nemanja Vidi\u0107, scandalous messages revealed!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/great-initiative-from-england-how-to-most-easily-teach-your-children-in-the-diaspora-to-write-and-read-cyrillic-photo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GREAT INITIATIVE FROM ENGLAND: How to most easily teach your children in the diaspora to write and read Cyrillic!
