Djokovic is already impressing!
Any doubts about Novak Djokovic's fitness have almost been dispelled. Long rumored to be out of action at Wimbledon, the Serbian lined up well and even delivered a real tennis lesson (6-1, 6-2, 6-2).
Up against a very modest opponent, Vit Kopriva (123rd, qualifier), 'Nole' simply left nothing for poor Tceque. Unstoppable on serve and return, he reassured most of his fans and confirmed his status as eternal favorite for the title.
Clearly back on track, he will face a player who is still very much within his grasp, since he will be up against the winner of the duel between Fearnley and Moro Canas.
