Novak Djokovic took some time to adjust to the indoor Wimbledon conditions but after losing the first set 4-6 he came back to win the next three 6-1 6-2 6-2.
It was a typical Novak Djokovic early Grand Slam outing as the Serbian lost the opening set but came back in strong fashion to win the next three. The match was played under a close roof as UK weather is not cooperating today.
Djokovic did not play a terrible first set he was actually quite solid but Draper was very good. The Brit hit 10 winners compared to Djokovic's 6 and saved all 7 break points he faced to win the opening set 6-4. After that, he could not do much as Djokovic was simply too good.
The 2nd set was a quick one as was the 3rd with both sets ending in less than 30 minutes. Djokovic was super hitting 15 winners in the 2nd and 13 in the 3rd to win the 6-1 and 6-2. Draper combined for only 8 in both sets after hitting 10 in the first.
Djokovic continued playing well in the 4th as he continued attacking Draper's weaker 2nd serve. The Brit lost most of the points he served his 2nd serve and that proved too much to overcome. Djokovic blasted another double-digit number of winners and won the 4th set with 6-2.
