World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is vying for a third consecutive Grand Slam title, a sixth Wimbledon crown, and the 20th Major of his career at the All England Club this year.
The Serb arrived at Wimbledon on the back of a remarkable run at Roland Garros, where he became the first men’s player in the Open Era to win two titles at each Slam.
Denis Kudla has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon before and is an excellent grass-court player, but he has never remotely challenged Djokovic in the past and it would be very surprising if he did so now.
Djokovic vs Kudla Head to Head
The third-round encounter at Wimbledon will be the third match between the two players, with Novak Djokovic leading the head-to-head 2-0.
Both of their previous meetings came at the Grand Slam level in 2019. Djokovic cruised past the American in the second round at Wimbledon and the third round at the US Open without dropping a set on either occasion.
Denis Kudla Stats
Journeyman Denis Kudla has always played some of his best tennis on grass, compiling a 70-41 record on the surface. He has made the final of multiple Challengers on grass, including Nottingham in 2021; was a Halle semifinalist in 2018; and in 2016, reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon
Kudla has spent most of his season on the Challenger Tour, and had to come through qualifying at Wimbledon, so has already won five matches. He did not drop a set in qualifying, and came back from two sets down in the first round to beat 30th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Kudla backed up his win over Davidovich Fokina with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Andreas Seppi.
Novak Djokovic Form
Since dropping his first set of the tournament to British wildcard Jack Draper, Djokovic has won the subsequent six he has played by the following scorelines: 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
In the second round, Djokovic faced Kevin Anderson in a rematch of the 2018 final. Anderson had pushed Djokovic to five sets at Wimbledon before but was given no opportunity this time.
Djokovic hit just six unforced errors in the match as he efficiently broke Anderson’s serve four times, losing just seven points behind his first serve. This is the kind of form which looks set to continue for the five-time champion.
Novak Djokovic is a tennis legend, and is one of the greatest players that the world has ever seen. He has his eyes firmly set on some major milestones. Most notably a 20th Grand Slam title which will see him draw level with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. He is also in contention for the first ever “Golden Slam” on the ATP Tour. Which is winning all four grand slams and the Olympic title in the same year.
