Novak Djokovic has successfully reserved Daniel Evans in the second round of Wimbledon 2025. Even, Nole lowered the British opponent with a score of 6-0 in Set 3.
Novak Djokovic continues to affirm the position of the championship candidate at Wimbledon 2025 when winning the overwhelming victory against host player Daniel Evans with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round not only helped Djokovic enter the third round but also marked the 19th time he played in this round in Wimbledon, a record in the opening century.
The last time the two players encountered were at Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters 2021, where Evans made a big surprise when defeating Djokovic in two sets. However, at the central yard yesterday, the game was completely changed. Djokovic played with convincing performance, controlling the match from the first ball and did not give the opponent any opportunity.
The Serbian player completed the match after only 1 hour 47 minutes, won 46 scoring scores (Winner) and only made 12 failures. Notably, Djokovic serve extremely effective when losing only 9 points in the whole battle when holding the serve. Evans' cutting balls did not make it difficult for Djokovic, who proved superior in both tactics and physical strength.
“Meeting an English player at home is always a great challenge. Evans is a person with sophisticated techniques and unpleasant play, especially on the pitch. But I think I have done everything well today,” Djokovic said after the match.
With this victory, Djokovic surpassed Roger Federer (18 times) to become a male tennis player who had many times in the third round in Wimbledon in the opening era, a respectable number of up to 19 times. The player who has won 7 times Wimbledon has a 99-12 record at All England Club, and only one more victory left to reach 100 victories at this prestigious tournament.
“The number 19 sounds strange, nearly the same as the age of Sinner and Alcaraz combined,” Djokovic shared with a little humor. “But I was still happy like the first time I came on. Wimbledon was always the most special place for me, where I used to dream of winning when I was a boy. Any milestone achieved here has a very unique meaning.”
The next opponent of Djokovic in the third round will be compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, the player currently ranked 49 in the world. In the second round, Kecmanovic surpassed Jesper de Jong (Netherlands) with a score of 1-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 after a brave match.
Despite the easy victory, Djokovic said he was not subjective: “I have prepared both technically and tactics. When playing as planned, you will feel like it is all smooth and natural. Today is such a day, I am very satisfied.”
The victory over Evans also raised the total number of Djokovic's victories in the 2025 season to 23 matches, including the 100th ATP championship in his career, winning in Geneva in May.
