Djokovic beats Evans to progress in Wimbledon

Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic outclassed Dan Evans in what could be the British veteran's final appearance at Wimbledon

Evans, now ranked 154th in the world and given a wildcard to play at the All England Club, lost 6-3 6-2 6-0 in their second-round match.

Serb great Djokovic, 38, produced a serving masterclass which even left Evans shaking his head in disbelief at several points.

The 35-year-old home favourite, who was willed on by an encouraging Centre Court crowd, won just nine of his 58 receiving points (16%) in the match.

Djokovic, seeded sixth this year, also demonstrated why he is still one of the best returners in the men's game by converting six of his 16 break points.

It was an impressive display from the 24-time Grand Slam champion, who is aiming to equal his rival Roger Federer's record tally of Wimbledon men's singles titles.

Djokovic is also trying to finally land a standalone record 25th major, having not claimed one of the sport's most prestigious prizes since the 2023 US Open.

Djokovic's win teed up an all-Serb contest against Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round, with a place in the last 16 on the line.

With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal having retired, Djokovic is the last of the 'Big Three' still playing.

Eyeing a record 25th Grand Slam title, Djokovic said he has no time to think about joining his former rivals in retirement.
