Novak Djokovic and Marin Čilić brought experience and firepower to Day 4 of Wimbledon 2025, proving that age is no barrier to brilliance on the grass courts of SW19. In his daily recap show Quick Served, Jon Wertheim captured the spirit of the day with the theme “The old man still has it,” and the results certainly backed it up.
🎾 Djokovic cruises past Evans with vintage precision
Novak Djokovic, now 38, showed no signs of slowing down as he dismantled Britain’s Dan Evans in straight sets: 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. The seven-time Wimbledon champion was clinical from start to finish, dropping just nine points on serve and handling Evans’ slice-heavy game with ease. With this win, Djokovic reached the third round at Wimbledon for a record 19th time, surpassing Roger Federer’s previous mark in the Open Era.
His movement, shot selection, and mental focus were all on display, and the Centre Court crowd responded with admiration. Djokovic now sets his sights on an eighth Wimbledon crown and a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.
🔥 Čilić stuns Draper in a four-set thriller
In one of the day’s biggest surprises, 36-year-old Marin Čilić rolled back the years to defeat British No. 1 and fourth seed Jack Draper 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. Čilić, who has battled injuries and undergone multiple knee surgeries in recent years, used his powerful serve and flat groundstrokes to keep Draper off balance. The Croatian’s experience shone through in the key moments, especially in the fourth set when he broke Draper late to seal the win.
It was a tough loss for the home crowd favorite, but a triumphant moment for Čilić, who reminded everyone why he was once a Grand Slam champion and Wimbledon finalist.
🌟 Women’s draw sees top names advance

-

🎙️ Jon Wertheim’s take
In his Quick Served segment, Jon Wertheim highlighted the contrast between youth and experience, noting how the veterans—especially Djokovic and Čilić—continue to thrive in an increasingly physical and fast-paced game. He also praised the women’s field for its depth and the emergence of new contenders like Navarro and Andreeva.
As Day 5 approaches, fans can expect more drama, more surprises, and perhaps even more reminders that greatness doesn’t fade—it evolves.
