Novak Djokovic def. Yibing Wu 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 — Wimbledon 2026 R128

Match recap

Novak Djokovic defeated Yibing Wu 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Three hours and twenty minutes on grass came down to who took the chances on return: Djokovic cashed 3 of his 6 break points while Wu managed just 1 of 11. Wu matched the favorite shot-for-shot on serve — 15 aces apiece, identical first-serve numbers — and even pulled level by taking the second set 7-5, but his break-point drought was fatal. The decisive damage came late: Wu handed over 0 of 6 break points in the fourth set while Djokovic needed only one, breaking in game nine to serve out a 6-4 finish. Wu's 54 winners outpaced Djokovic's 35, but 40 unforced errors and a 9% conversion rate sank the Wimbledon opener.
