No Djoking Around in Wimby
The winner of the 2021 Wimbledon men’s singles tournament is none other than Novak Djokovic, who fended off rising Italian star Matteo Berrettini in four sets. The sensational Serb has won a total of six Wimbledon men’s singles titles, which is currently the fourth-most wins in the tournament’s history.
Djokovic won his first-ever Wimby title in 2011 and wouldn’t win his next one until 2014. From that point forward, the longest-reigning World No. 1 player in ATP Tour history would go on to win four of the next six Wimbledon Finals. However, he’s still two wins away from tying Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon men’s singles tournaments, with Federer having won his latest Wimbledon title in 2017 amidst Djokovic’s amazing run in London that’s still ongoing.
Is Djokovic Playing in the 2022 Edition of Wimbledon?
Yes, Djokovic will play in the 2022 Wimbledon gentlemen’s singles tournament. In fact, he’s the current front-runner to win the entire tournament as a (+150) favorite to go the distance for the seventh time in his already decorated career.
Not only is Djokovic driven to win his seventh Wimbledon title to put him in a tie with other tennis legends in Pete Sampras and local UK hero William Renshaw, but he’s just simply itching to compete in yet another Grand Slam event this year, period. Djokovic was banned from playing at this 2022 Australia Open due to his unvaccinated status, then he was quickly ousted in the quarterfinal stage of the 2022 French Open by his long-time rival in Roland Garros and the one true king of the clay courts, Rafael Nadal.
