Wimbledon 2023 - LIVE!
Novak Djokovic moved into the third round and kept his Wimbledon title defence firmly on track as he beat a stubborn Jordan Thompson in straight sets.
Daria Kasatkina and Iga Swiatek dropped a combined four games as they cruised to victories earlier in the day on Centre Court, leaving the crowd relying on something special from Thompson, or something especially poor from Djokovic, if they were to take in any sort of drama.
Thompson threatened to deliver on what was asked of him, particularly on serve, but Djokovic does not really do shocks. Not on Centre Court, where he last lost a decade ago. And so it proved, Thompson keeping it competitive for large periods but the defending champion was comfortable enough in a 6-3 7-6 7-5 win. He will face either either three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka or Tomas Martin Etcheverry, who meet on Thursday, next.
