Wimbledon: Djokovic cruises past Anderson, into 3rd round
Over tennis news, top seed Novak Djokovic has eased into the 3rd round of Wimbledon, after dispatching big serving Kevin Anderson, in straight sets.
The Serbinator, who is bidding for a 6th Wimbledon and record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title, was Imperious during a grass court masterclass on Centre Court. Djokovic broke the South African's serve once in each of the 3 sets, and conceded only 6 unforced errors, to wrap up the match with a triple 6-3s. The World No.1 will next take on Denis Kudla in the last 16.
Meanwhile, in a match which was held over from Tuesday due to curfew rules in London, Nick Kyrgios completed a 3 sets to 2 victory over Ugo Humbert to advance into the 2nd round.
The action resumed at 3-apiece in the decider, with both players performing well on their serves, until Frenchman Humbert, winner of Halle Open this month, blinked at 7-apiece, before handing the victory to Kyrgios in the next game. The Australian will next meet Gianluca Mager of Italy in Round 2.
Number 16 seed Felix Auger Aliassime has booked a place in the 2nd round of the event by dispatching Brazil's Thiago Monteiro in three sets of 6-3. Aliassime will next face Mikael Ymer. The young Swede fought back from two sets to one to overcome his better known rival, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.
