Novak Djokovic is off to a great start in his attempt of an eighth Wimbledon championship. The 24-time major champion easily moved to Round 3 after defeating Daniel Evans in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. He has won six of his first seven sets in the tournament.
Djokovic will now focus on his next opponent, a fellow citizen who is ranked among the top 50 players in the world.
Throughout his illustrious career, Djokovic has won a record 24 men’s singles major titles. He has also had a lot of success at Wimbledon, particularly in recent seasons. Despite losing back-to-back years in the championship match to Carlos Alcaraz, he has advanced to the event final six times in a row.
Despite starting the tournament as the No. 6 seed, Djokovic is one of the favorites to win the event because of his success at the All England Club. He may tie Roger Federer’s record of eight grass-court tournament wins with another victory.
