Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is considered an example, not only on the tennis court or on the sports field, but in general for his persistence and defiance.
Djokovic won an exciting victory over Italian Janek Sener, in the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, after a long struggle that lasted 3 hours and 35 minutes, and it is one of the longest matches in that edition.
Djokovic made a strong and successful comeback, “Remontada”, in the match, after overturning his two-set delay into a valuable victory, by winning 3 consecutive sets against Sener, ranked tenth in the world and in the tournament as well.
Djokovic is just two steps away from his goal of winning his seventh Wimbledon title and 21st Grand Slam title, where he meets Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the semi-finals.
Thus, Djokovic added a new and distinctive remontada to his record in the tournament, becoming his fifth remontada in the last 10 years, to confirm that he is the “king of the remontada” at Wimbledon and the four major tournaments “Grand Slam”.
This is Djokovic’s seventh remontada in the four “Grand Slam” tournaments after being late in the match, and the third in Wimbledon, compared to 3 times in Roland Garros, and once in the US Open “Flashing Meadows”.
The first time that Djokovic overturned his two-set delay to a valuable victory in Wimbledon matches was during the 2005 edition, where he defeated Guillermo Garcia Lopez in the 64th round of the tournament, while the second time was 10 years later when he defeated South African Kevin Anderson in the round of 16, and completed his way Towards the title podium.
It is noteworthy that Djokovic’s most famous remontada during his sports career was against former world number one Roger Federer, in the semi-finals of the Flushing Meadows Championship in 2011.
