Novak Djokovic created a slice of history as he marched into the third round at Wimbledon after cruising to a comfortable win over Britain’s Dan Evans.

While he launched his Wimbledon campaign with a straight-sets win over countryman Jay Clarke, his schedule will get no easier in the second round as he meets the 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, who is in the hunt for his eighth title in SW19.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC HELPED himself to a 99 in the Wimbledon sunshine as Dan Evans melted away. Djokovic, the seven-time champion, is now just one short of a century of match wins in SW19 after a 6-3 6-2 6-0 win of ominous efficiency.
