No. 2 Novak Djokovic def. Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Novak Djokovic continued his march toward the ATP No. 1 ranking Thursday at the All-England Club, sauntering into the third round with an extremely routine 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over big serving South African Kevin Anderson on Court 1.
Wimbledon 2011 Results: No. 2 Novak Djokovic Cruises Past Kevin Anderson’s Big Serve
Djokovic didn’t have much trouble with Anderson’s powerful serve in today’s windy conditions, though, breaking the 6’8” Anderson’s serve five times in the three sets.
Anderson, who played college tennis at Illinois, beat Djokovic in 2008 at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, at a time when Djokovic was riding high with recent titles at the Australian Open and Indian Wells. But Djokovic was far more prepared this time around, and was able to outclass Anderson in most every aspect of the match.
Djokovic’s next match could be considerably tougher, as he faces the winner of 2006 Wimbledon semifinalist No. 32 Marcos Baghdatis and last week’s Eastbourne champion Andreas Seppi.
