Djokovic was happy with Kokkinakis in his 23rd consecutive win

Novak Djokovic He admitted he was not comfortable with his premiere at Wimbledon 2022. He left the set against the South Korean Soonwoo Kwon. Nothing to worry about. There were seventeen participants, a lot of accumulated experience. At 35 years old, he knows full well that it’s hard to get back on the lawn after losing it for twelve months and leaving a lot of energy in the clay in recent weeks.

His second date on center court marked a drastic change in his performance. For goodness sake. A more rounded and safer tennis. He has no confidence in the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, and he came out very busy. He added that he was fully performed and that the ‘aussie’ was far from showing his ability as a ‘gunner’. The friend and stunt partner of Nick Kyrgios, 26 years old and world number 79, saw no gap and fell morally. He barely made a dozen ‘aces’.

Djokovic was happy, overseeing the contest at will. No atom of wasted energy yet. the battle is resolved 6-1, 6-4 and 6-2 in two hours. In the third round, against his countrymen Myomir Kecmanovicwhich removed the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-3. He didn’t move on his serve until the last inning, where he received a ‘break’ ball just after not closing on his first ‘match’ point. Anecdotal. Sealed at the bottom. On serve, 55 of 72 points.

He added his 23rd consecutive victory at Wimbledon, which he has not given up since he retired in the quarterfinals against Czech Tomas Berdych in the 2017 edition. He wants a fourth consecutive title, matching the global seven of his idol. Peter Sampras and the ‘prehistoric’ William Renshaw, approach eight of nothing Roger Federer. And inadvertently add a 21st Grand Slam that narrows the gap that originated Rafael Nadal reached 22 wins over Australia and Roland Garros.

And Djokovic is now out of US Open, which does not admit to the entry into the country of foreigners not vaccinated against covid. The Serbian has openly criticized this policy considering that unvaccinated American tennis players, or those with a green residence card, can compete.

Meanwhile, focused on Wimbledon, where he was with his wife, Jelena Djokovic (Ristic)and their little children, Stefan and Tarathat he helps hunt down autographs in the player area.
