Novak Djokovic got his Wimbledon title defense off to a winning start on Monday, but he had to work hard for his 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory against world No.

He will face either Thanasi Kokkinakis or Kamil Majchrzak in the second round. The top seed's victory against Kwon was perhaps not as routine as some expected. On the first day of action at Wimbledon, Djokovic opened play under the roof of Centre Court in a bid to win his fourth straight title at SW19 and first grand slam of the year.

Novak Djokovic is especially motivated to win his fourth straight Wimbledon title and 21st Grand Slam singles crown in part because he knows it will ...

“It was a little bit of a scratcy match from Joker...but you gotta think what’s happened to start the year with Djokovic has had a little bit of an effect on him,” Gilbert said. I expect he will get better, he will have to get better “It was really difficult to go through him so I had to figure out a way to tactically get in control of the point. And I think he feels an immense pressure to win this championship.” It wasn’t easy, I had to put a lot of variety in the game. “For some really bizarre reasons he’s had one of the most unsettling years in the history of tennis,” Shriver said on air.

Novak Djokovic got his Wimbledon title defense off to a winning start on Monday, but he had to work hard for his 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory against world No.

From here, Kwon couldn't find a way back and Djokovic got his pursuit for a 21st grand slam title up and running, with either Australia's Thanasi Kokkinakis or Poland's Kamil Majchrzak awaiting in the second round. The pair traded service games before Djokovic showed his experience to take hold of the match. The Serbian's first serve became more consistent and his ground strokes more precise as he broke for a 5-3 lead.

With the roof closed because of sporadic rain, Kwon was able to pick his spots with his booming forehand. Djokovic has won the last three Wimbledon titles and is going for his seventh overall. The boy was soon helped off court. With it, he became the first man or woman to win that many matches at each of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. Also in the men's draw, No. 9 Cam Norrie of Britain, No. 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia, No. 23 Frances Tiafoe of the United States and No. 30 Tommy Paul of the United States advanced. Djokovic was playing for the first time since losing to Rafael Nadal last month in the French Open quarterfinals.

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic defeated Soonwoo Kwon as he reached the second round of Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.

"The amount of drama that we went through there, and it takes a long time to get over something like that. "All the pressure is on Djokovic and not his opponent. "After the last couple of months, it’s understandable that he still has a little bit of rust. I still have the love and the flame for this sport still burns in me. "I couldn’t go through him, so I had to figure out a way, tactically, to get in control of the points. All my childhood dreams came true on this court and it’s an honour to play on the Centre Court at Wimbledon.

WIMBLEDON, England — These days, Novak Djokovic makes history just about every time he wins another match. On Monday, the top-ranked Serb did just that at ...

After Djokovic finished, Emma Raducanu took to Centre Court for the first time. The boy was soon helped off court. With the roof closed because of sporadic rain, Kwon was able to pick his spots with his booming forehand. Djokovic has won the last three Wimbledon titles and is going for his seventh overall. “Other than this year that Wimbledon made a change so you could practice before the tournament starts, it was always coming out on the untouched grass. It’s really a unique and special feeling in our sport.” The 19-year-old British player, who won the U.S. Open last year, was playing at the All England Club for the first time since retiring from her fourth-round match a year ago. The first player to reach the second round was Alison Riske. The 28th-seeded American defeated Ylena In-Albon of Switzerland 6-2, 6-4. “I felt support,” said Djokovic, who may be banned from playing at the U.S. Open and again at the Australian Open because he is unvaccinated. Despite that issue, the crowd on Centre Court was happy to see him back at Wimbledon. Djokovic was playing for the first time since losing to Rafael Nadal last month in the French Open quarterfinals. “It’s always very unique match to play as the defending champion, first on the grass,” said Djokovic, who won his 22nd straight match at the tournament.

The six-time champion wins 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the first round while Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud also advance.

But the Spaniard broke back and came from 7-4 down in the deciding tiebreak to win it 10-8, his smile more of relief than joy. “Starting Wimbledon in five sets, starting the same as last year, means I like to play on grass,” he said, smiling. Carlos Alcaraz is at the other end of the scale, when it comes to experience. Djokovic admitted he was not at his best in his win against Kwon but he got the job done without too much drama. But it is what it is at the moment. With no points on offer at this year’s Championships – the ATP’s and WTA’s response to Wimbledon’s decision not to allow Russian and Belarusian players to compete – Djokovic will slide down the rankings, win or lose this fortnight.

Novak Djokovic dropped a set on the way to the second round at Wimbledon on Monday and did not look like the Mr Consistency who has become the first player ...

Djokovic next faces Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, ranked 79 in the world, who beat Kamil Majchrzak of Poland in straight sets. Not very pleasant to me." "I was very pleasantly surprised, I mean, in a positive way. "I did not start or did not play at my best but I think when I needed to find the right shots, I did," Djokovic said. It was a different feel. The Australian debacle lost him some popularity.

Thanasi Kokkinakis broke his Wimbledon hoodoo to set up a second-round blockbuster with three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic.

I knew I had a tough match obviously first, but definitely knew what was at stake.” Can’t wait for the opportunity,” Kokkinakis said. A lot of doubt coming into the tournament.

Novak Djokovic hits COVID vaccine controversy again for commenting that jab was not an option for him and that he would rather pull out of the tournament.

Djokovic said, as reported by Express, the jab was not an option for him and told reporters he would rather not play in tournaments that required it than subject himself to the shot. The Wimbledon tour is extra special for Djokovic this time because if he wins the title this year, he will match Pete Sampras as a seven-time Wimbledon champion. The statement has given air to a new debate as several players have tested positive for the virus and probably will be pulling out of Wimbledon.
