Defending champion Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic recorded a routine win over Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis as the top seed eased into the Wimbledon third round.
The 35-year-old Serb is aiming to win a fourth successive title, where he is a six-time winner.
The vastly superior Djokovic, a 20-time major winner, was in fine form in a 6-1 6-4 6-2 win against the world number 79 on Centre Court.
“I’m really blessed to be here,” said Djokovic, having thanked the crowd for their support. “It was a very high quality performance. I started off very well, very solid from the back of the court and made him work for every point where I managed to get his serve back in play.
“I tried to work him round the court and bring a lot of variety. I’m quite pleased with the way I’ve raised my level of tennis in two days. Hopefully I can keep that trajectory going as the tournament progresses.
