NOVAK DJOKOVIC has been gracing the professional tennis courts since 2003 – and we could see him lift another Wimbledon trophy in TOMORROW’S final.
The Serbian superstar has battled his way through the two gruelling weeks of SW19 to book a fourth spot in five years at the tournaments conclusion.

And his chances of lifting more silverware has significantly increased courtesy of arch nemesis Rafael Nadal dropping out due to an abdominal injury.
But with Wimbledon scrapped in 2020, will a win for Djokovic count as four in a row and has any other Men’s Single’s tennis player done it before?
Will a Wimbledon win for Novak Djokovic count as four in a row?
Fortunately for Novak Djokovic, a win for the Serbian over Nick Kyrgios would see him enter the four in a row club.
The tournament was scrapped in 2020 due to Covid-19 which effectively acts as if it never existed.
Djokovic has NEVER won four Wimbledon Grand Slams in a row – the closest he came was winning two consecutively (2014 and 2015).
Whereas this time round, the world number one has been crowned champion in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
