Novak Djokovic secured a commanding victory over local favorite Dan Evans at Wimbledon. The Serb had no problems closing out a 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 win, guaranteeing his passage to the third round. This marks his 99th main draw victory at the All England Club.
Just as in his first-round match against Alexandre Muller, Djokovic was impeccable on his serve, giving his opponent virtually no chances. The 24-time Grand Slam champion advances and awaits his next opponent: his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.
First Set
From the start of the match, Djokovic looked more comfortable on his serve and closer to putting pressure on his opponent's serve. Evans had to save four break points in the fourth game—and three more in the sixth game—but managed to hold serve until 3-3. However, "Nole" would get three more break chances, and this time, he seized the break that put him ahead 5-3.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion comfortably closed out the set on his serve, where he conceded only three service points and tallied 7 aces and 17 winners.
Second Set
Again in the second set, Djokovic played at a high level on return. After Evans took the first game on his serve, Djokovic went on a scoring run that gave him control for a large part of the set. The Serb won 5 consecutive games—including two breaks—in which he claimed 20 out of the 23 points played.
With the score at 5-1 in Djokovic's favor, Evans managed to win another service game, but he couldn't do anything to create even a break opportunity. Djokovic once again closed out the set on his serve—a set in which he conceded only two points on his serve (89% effectiveness), along with 12 winners and just one unforced error.
Third Set
With everything already in Djokovic's favor, things only became more advantageous for the Serb. An early break in the third set gave him the motivation to start the set easily, up 2-0 on his serve. The 24-time Grand Slam champion capitalized on the momentum to take a second consecutive break on his first opportunity.
Evans couldn't escape the loop he was in, committing more errors than ever against an opponent who wouldn't let up. Djokovic didn't hesitate in the final stretch, securing three consecutive breaks to go up 5-0. As he was about to close out the victory, Evans had a couple of break opportunities, but he couldn't convert them.
Djokovic closed out an impressive 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 victory and will face his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round. Djokovic holds a favorable 3-0 head-to-head record against Kecmanović, including a third-round encounter at Wimbledon in 2022, the year Nole went on to win the title.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
