Novak Djokovic is now just three wins away from a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. A Wimbledon victory would see the 38-year-old match Roger Federer’s record of eight titles at the grass-court major. He will face Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-final on Wednesday, July 9

Serbian star Novak Djokovic's 11-year-old son, Stefan, has been wearing a white cap on which he has autographs of several players at Wimbledon 2025.

But Stefan's collection of autographs is missing the likes of his dad. He also stated that his son did all the work by himself.


"It was himself, independently of me, approaching and asking for autographs. I think I might have asked only Jannik (Sinner) or someone, but everyone else he's approached," said the 38-year-old.



"He's over the moon. Obviously, he loves tennis. Yeah, he has everyone's signature, except mine," he added.

Djokovic registered a victory against Alex de Minaur by 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the fourth round. The Serbian is now just three wins away from a record-extending 25th title. If Djokovic wins Wimbledon, the 38-year-old will go level with Roger Federer's tally of eight titles on the grass-court major.

Italy's Flavio Cobolli will now lock horns with Djokovic in the quarter-final on Wednesday, July 9.

Djokovic and his wife, Jelena, also have a daughter, 7-year-old Tara, who got attention earlier in the tournament by doing a post-match dance.

Additionally, the match between the Serbia-born and de Minaur was attended by Team India stalwart Virat Kohli. The cricketer was accompanied by with wife and actress Anushka Sharma.

Previously, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket before the start of the five-match series against England. Earlier, the veteran also drew curtains on his T20I format after Team India's famous T20 World Cup 2025 triumph. He will continue to represent India in One-Day International (ODIs) matches.

Along with him, Rohit Sharma, too, announced his retirement from Test cricket and T20Is as well. Over the years, the duo has been known to be India's batting mainstay. Following the retirement of Rohit, Team India's think tank has now appointed Shubman Gill as their new skipper in the longest format of the game.
