Djokovic leaves a discouraged Evans without gas
The Serb extinguishes Daniel's flame to secure a victory in three sets and confirm his qualification to the third round of Wimbledon 2025.
Novak Djokovic made his way to the third round of Wimbledon 2025 after defeating Daniel Evans in three sets, as the Briton couldn't give more on the court. The Serbian was able to capitalize on opportunities from the return, and after the first set, the match was completely in his control due to Evans' physical decline. With a 6-3, 6-2, and 6-0 victory.
After the previous day's storm, the sun shone again in Wimbledon 2025. Service was key at the start of the match, and despite Djokovic showing signs of frustration, he managed to keep it together. On the other side of the net, Daniel tried to sharpen his one-handed backhand to keep up with the Serbian.
Novak had nine opportunities from the return to take the advantage, but Evans defended fiercely until the tenth chance when Djokovic finally got the break. After a somewhat ironic celebration, Nole focused to claim the first set.
Djokovic completely wears down Evans
In a different fashion from the first set, Djokovic confirmed the break right from the start, extinguishing any hope for Dan who seemed to lose energy. Novak accelerated the points by approaching the net, realizing that his opponent was running out of steam, possibly due to physical discomfort.
With some concern, Evans didn't show a smile despite the strong support from the crowd trying to lift him, albeit with little success. The Serbian advanced with direct returns, showing courage and taming his frustration at missing certain chances. The Centre Court fell silent as Djokovic secured his spot in the next round of Wimbledon.
