Novak Djokovic has won the last three Wimbledon Championships titles. Adding to that, he has already qualified for this year’s final.

“Except most of my matches, I did not play on Centre Court, unlike the guys? I will take the overall streak over a particular court streak,” she wrote.

Further, she praised Djokovic for his consistency.?“but amazing consistency and excellence by Novak, that?s for sure!” She added.
