What is the breakthrough moment of Novak Djokovic? 

Novak’s breakthrough moment came at the Wimbledon of 2005. That’s when he first broke into the top 100 and proved his mettle.

“I think it was probably Wimbledon. It was always a special tournament and it was a dream tournament for me when I was a kid. Always wanting to win Wimbledon. The first top 100 breakthrough that I had was there. I qualified and I think I saved two or three match points in the past round of qualification. One of the main motivations that I had, driving force that I had in that match was my brothers joining me in London. Because if they were to come I had to qualify. And I won three rounds and got to the fourth round at Wimbledon. And qualified for top 100 and that’s where I really felt I have now entered the elite arena of professional tennis.”
