Djokovic fended off Jordan Thompson to progress to third round

By overcoming the tenacious Jordan Thompson in straight sets, Novak Djokovic moved on in his attempt to retain his Wimbledon crown. Daria Kasatkina and Iga Swiatek also won convincingly on Centre Court earlier in the day, leaving the spectators hoping for an upset from Thompson or a lacklustre showing from Djokovic.

Those expectations were partially met by Thompson, especially with his serve, but Djokovic is not one to be surprised, especially on Centre Court where he hasn’t dropped a set in ten years. No break points were faced during the whole match as the reigning champion maintained control and won easily 6-3, 7-6, 7-5.
