"This court is special" - Djokovic excited to be back at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic faced very stiff opposition from Kwon but the Serbian was able to produce a good enough level to move on to round one.

The Serbian maintained a solid level in his 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against the World No. 81, yet Kwon’s aggressive tactics meant Djokovic was never completely comfortable. It was certainly visible in the body language of the Serbian but after finally getting the win he said:

"I've said this before but this court is truly special. For me, it has always been the court I dreamed of playing and winning [on], and all my childhood dreams came true here so it's an honour and pleasure to be back on Centre Court."

Djokovic further added:

"I am as dedicated as anyone out there. I am not one of the youngsters anymore, but the love for this sport still burns in me and I try to always play my best tennis at the Grand Slams and deliver my best tennis at the best courts. Now that we're at 80 [wins at Wimbledon], let's get to 100."

With the win Djokovic became the only player to have won at least 80 matches on all grand slams. He's going for 100 so watch out.
