Novak Djokovic has failed to win titles at the AO and French Open earlier this year. Can he bring a more favorable result at Wimbledon? Well, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has got off to a flying start at SW19. He defeated Alexandre Muller in the first round by four sets, and following that victory, he said, “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think I had a chance, to be honest. I think I always have a chance.” Talking about chances, well, the Serb didn’t give a single chance to the British star, Dan Evans, in the second round. Djokovic sealed the deal against the home favorite by 6-3,6-2,6-0. With this win, he has added quite a few feathers to his cap. What are those?
Before the start of this match, Djokovic showered a few words of praise for Evans by saying, “He’s a super talented player and a great competitor. Always backs himself up on the court, believes in himself. Playing obviously against a Brit in Britain, it’s never easy. I have to be ready for a great battle. I haven’t played him in a long time.” But unfortunately for the Wimbledon crowd, Dan Evans couldn’t just match the level with the Serb.
With this win, Novak Djokovic (38 years and 39 days) has now become the oldest player to claim a 6-0 set in the men’s singles at Wimbledon since Jimmy Connors (38 years 295 days) in 1991. His 99th win at this iconic tournament has now secured his spot at the third round of Wimbledon for the 19th time in his career. Staggering!
