Novak Djokovic takes on British wildcard Dan Evans in the next stage of his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam as defending women's champion Barbora Krejcikova seeks to prolong her love affair with Wimbledon. After three days of stunning upsets at the All England Club, Djokovic, Krejcikova and world number one Jannik Sinner will bid to avoid becoming the latest stars to crash out in second-round action on Thursday. Eight top 10 seeds in the men's and women's singles were beaten in the first round, which ranks as the most at a Grand Slam in the Open era. Italy's Jasmine Paolini, last year's Wimbledon runner-up, was defeated in the second round on Wednesday to leave only one of the top five women's seeds -- world number one Aryna Sabalenka -- still standing. Djokovic goes into his match against Evans with a losing record against the British wildcard, although they have met only once before. Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, was beaten by Evans on the clay of Monte Carlo in 2021. The Serb, beaten in the last two Wimbledon finals, struggled with stomach issues in his four-set win in the first round against Frenchman Alexandre Muller before recovering strongly, praising "miracle pills". Realistically, he is unlikely to lose sleep over the match-up with the 154th-ranked Briton, who, at 35, is three years younger than him, but he is wary of his opponent's experience on grass and the home support.

To show his determination, Wimbledon has chosen a famous dialogue from the Indian movie franchise - Pushpa - where the protagonist (played by Allu Arjun) refuses to stand down in face of adversity with the statement - "Jukhega nahi (won't bow down)."&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-is-billionaire-heiress-world-no-3-jessica-pegula-loss-vs-cocciaretto-in-wimbledon-first-round-of-women-s-singles-1751371289051">Wimbledon 2025: Billionaire heiress and world no. 3 Pegula suffers shock defeat vs Cocciaretto in first round of women's singles</a><h2>Wimbledon and Djokovic go Pushpa way</h2>Taking a leaf out of the Pushpa book, Wimbledon, along with the official broadcaster of the tournament, has shared a post on its official Instagram handle with a sketch of Novak Djokovic in iconic Pushpa pose with the caption: "Rukega bhi nahi aur jhukega bhi nahi (won't stop and won't bow down either)."

<h2>Djokovic in Wimbledon</h2>Djokovic takes on French Alexandre Muller in the first round at SW19 on Tuesday (Jul 1). Djokovic is 38 now and will be 39 next year - his age is showing up as he continues to chase the elusive 25th grand slam title - probably the only feather missing from his decorated tennis career cap.In the previous two editions of the Wimbledon, Djokovic has reached the final but fell short against eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz who is playing in the tournament as a two-time defending champion.While Djokovic has greatness and history on his side, his current from is worrying in his quest for the record 25th grand slam title as visible in the French Open where he lost the semi-final to Jannik Sinner in straight sets. It'll be interesting to see how Djokovic fares in the tournament and whether or not he'd be able to win the elusive title.

Taking a leaf out of the Pushpa book, Wimbledon, along with the official broadcaster of the tournament, has shared a post on its official Instagram handle with a sketch of Novak Djokovic in iconic Pushpa (played by Allu Arjun) pose.

Wimbledon 2025 - the 138th edition of the Championship - is already underway and the All England Club has found the perfect way to describe Novak Djokovic's hunt for the record 25th title. Djokovic, who hasn't won a grand slam since winning US Open 2023, is hoping to overcome the barrier in the tournament he has won seven times. To show his determination, Wimbledon has chosen a famous dialogue from the Indian movie franchise - Pushpa - where the protagonist (played by Allu Arjun) refuses to stand down in face of adversity with the statement - "Jukhega nahi (won't bow down)."

Wimbledon 2025: Complete guide to dates, key players and live streaming details in India

Wimbledon 2025 could witness a blockbuster semi-final as current world no. 1 Jannik Sinner is drawn in the same half as seven-time grass champion Novak Djokovic. The Italian star, who recently beat Djokovic at the French Open 2025 semifinals, is eyeing his first Wimbledon title, while Djokovic is chasing history to match Roger Federer’s record of eight singles titles at the All England Club. The draw, held on Friday (Jun 27), has set the stage for a potential thrilling semi-final.&nbsp;Jannik Sinner will kick off his Wimbledon campaign against fellow Italian Luca Nardi. If he progresses smoothly, a potential quarter-final clash awaits with another fellow Italian and last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist, Lorenzo Musetti. Between Nardi and Musetti, Sinner may also face tricky grass-court servers like Taylor Fritz, Matteo Berrettini, Hubert Hurkacz or Alexander Bublik, all known for their powerful serves and ability to cause upsets on grass.&nbsp;Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-is-alex-eala-the-first-woman-from-philippines-to-reach-a-wta-final-1751030348510">Who is Alex Eala? The first woman from Philippines to reach a WTA final</a>&nbsp;On the other hand, Djokovic, seeded sixth in the tournament, starts his campaign against Alexandre Muller from France. But it’s not a walk in the park for Serb as a tricky third-round match against rising American star Alex Michelsen could await, followed by a potential fourth-round clash with Australian Alex de Minaur, who is seeded 11th. In the quarters, Britain’s No. 1 Jack Draper, Alexander Bublik or young Czech Jakub Mensik could stand between Djokovic and the semis.

Though he has avoided an early clash with Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic still finds himself in the same half as Sinner. That means if both survive their tough draws, fans will be treated to a nail-biting semi-final, a rematch of their recent Roland Garros battle.&nbsp;Meanwhile, defending champion Alcaraz and third seed Alexander Zverev are in the bottom half of the draw. If Sinner or Djokovic reach the final, they could face one of these two stars for the Wimbledon crown.

Jannik Sinner, who recently beat Djokovic at the French Open 2025 semifinals, is eyeing his first Wimbledon title, while Djokovic is chasing history to match Roger Federer’s record of eight singles titles at the All England Club. 

Wimbledon 2025 could witness a blockbuster semi-final as current world no. 1 Jannik Sinner is drawn in the same half as seven-time grass champion Novak Djokovic. The Italian star, who recently beat Djokovic at the French Open 2025 semifinals, is eyeing his first Wimbledon title, while Djokovic is chasing history to match Roger Federer’s record of eight singles titles at the All England Club. The draw, held on Friday (Jun 27), has set the stage for a potential thrilling semi-final. Jannik Sinner will kick off his Wimbledon campaign against fellow Italian Luca Nardi. If he progresses smoothly, a potential quarter-final clash awaits with another fellow Italian and last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist, Lorenzo Musetti. Between Nardi and Musetti, Sinner may also face tricky grass-court servers like Taylor Fritz, Matteo Berrettini, Hubert Hurkacz or Alexander Bublik, all known for their powerful serves and ability to cause upsets on grass.

But it’s not a walk in the park for Serb as a tricky third-round match against rising American star Alex Michelsen could await, followed by a potential fourth-round clash with Australian Alex de Minaur, who is seeded 11th. In the quarters, Britain’s No. 1 Jack Draper, Alexander Bublik or young Czech Jakub Mensik could stand between Djokovic and the semis.

French Open 2025 Updates: World no. 1 Jannik Sinner takes out 24-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets but the victory was much tougher than it looks. Djokovic gave his best but Sinner's youth triumphed eventually over him. Sinner won 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 and will now face Carlos Alcaraz for his maiden Roland Garros title on Sunday (June 8). The defending champion from Spain advanced to the final after winning the match via walkover but he was going to win anyway. Musetti showed great promise in the first set but went on to lose the steam from there on before calling it quits two games into the fourth set. Alcaraz eventually won 4-6 7-6, 6-0, 2-0 and will now play to defend his Roland Garros title.
