The strongest Djokovic easily passed the first round, which was suspended for about an hour and a half due to rain and resumed, and started smoothly toward his fifth consecutive victory.

The female No. 1 Sibiong Tech also made it to the second round, but Venus Williams, who passed the bullshit, was eliminated.

Thunderous applause pours in as Djokovic, who is aiming for a fifth consecutive Wimbledon title, enters the court with his first round opponent, Kachin of Argentina.

Djokovic took the first set 1-2 to a technical shot from Kachin, world number 68, but soon recovered and won 6-3.

In the match, which was stopped for an hour and a half due to rain and resumed, Djokovic’s skill shined even more, eventually winning the set score 3-0 in 2 hours and 12 minutes.

29 straight wins in singles at Wimbledon since 2018.

If Djokovic wins at Wimbledon this year, he will also tie the record for most wins at the event by retired Federer, who has eight career wins.

He also extended his record for most major men’s singles wins to 24.

Sibiong Tech, ranked No. 1 in the women’s rankings, challenging for its 5th major championship, defeated Zhu Lin of China, ranked 34th in the world, 2-0, and also made it to the second round.

However, 43-year-old Venus Williams struggled against Ukraine’s Svitolina but failed to get through the first round.
