Djokovic Dominates Wimbledon Opener Amid Questions About His Future
Novak Djokovic has stepped back onto Centre Court at Wimbledon, and once again, the tennis world is watching. The 38-year-old Serbian legend kicked off his 2025 Wimbledon campaign with an emphatic win against France’s Alexandre Muller, showcasing the kind of elite form that has made him a seven-time Wimbledon champion and holder of 24 Grand Slam titles. With this year's tournament marking his pursuit of a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown—one that would tie Roger Federer in Open Era history—Djokovic’s journey this fortnight carries more weight than usual.
What makes this Wimbledon outing particularly compelling is the air of uncertainty surrounding Djokovic’s future. He’s already admitted that this could be his “last dance” at SW19. Much like at the French Open earlier this year, where he hinted at possible retirement after losing to Jannik Sinner, Djokovic has again left fans guessing whether this summer marks his farewell to one of tennis’ grandest stages. If it is, he’s certainly not holding back.

In today's match, Djokovic was clinical. He breezed through the first set in just 30 minutes, taking it 6-1. Muller, ranked world No. 40 and France’s No. 4, had moments of defiance—stringing together aces, hitting bold forehands—but Djokovic's dominance was never seriously threatened. His serving was sublime, his lobs magical, and his command over the court as precise as ever.
While Muller put up a brave fight, especially in the second set, pushing some games to deuce and thrilling the crowd with the occasional ace, the gap in experience and pedigree was undeniable. Djokovic’s ability to stay calm and construct points with such ease reminded everyone why he remains the last titan of the Big Four still standing.
Interestingly, Muller brought some off-court buzz with him too. Known for his OnlyFans partnership—yes, the platform typically associated with adult content—he insists he’s using it solely to share fitness routines, tennis insights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his professional life. Calling himself “the sexiest tennis player in France,” Muller may not have troubled Djokovic on the scoreboard, but he certainly stirred curiosity in the media room.
Still, all the headlines rightly belong to Novak Djokovic today. Not just for his impressive win, but for the deeper storyline: How much longer will we get to see this legend compete at this level? Every match could be a final chapter, and that sense of urgency adds emotional gravity to each stroke he plays.
Whether this is truly Djokovic’s last Wimbledon or just another page in a seemingly endless saga, one thing is clear: he’s not done fighting for history. And Centre Court remains his arena.
