London: Novak Djokovic crushed British wildcard Dan Evans in the Wimbledon second round as he stepped up his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title, while defending women’s champion Barbora Krejcikova battled into the third round.
After three days of stunning upsets at Wimbledon, Djokovic avoided becoming the latest star to crash out in second-round action.
The Serb needed just one hour and 47 minutes to dispatch Evans with a ruthless 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 victory on Centre Court.
“It means I’ve been playing quite a long time!” Djokovic said when told he had just secured his 99th Wimbledon match victory.
