Djokovic overcame a tough hurdle at Wimbledon
The Serbian suffered, but took the victory: it was 6-3, 6-4, 5-7 and 7-5 against local Fearnley.
Serbia Novak Djokovic (No. 2 in the ATP ranking) defeated the British Jacob Fearnley (No. 277) by 6-3, 6-4, 5-7 and 7-5 to advance to the third round of Wimbledon.
It was a game to break in for Djokovic. At times he showed a great level of tennis and at other times he was erratic. Just when it looked like he was done, he missed a number of opportunities and Fearnley put everything into the fourth set. Nole showed all his hierarchy there and managed to close the game.
In this way, the 37-year-old Serbian extended his record in this tournament to 94-11, leaving him just two wins short of his personal record at Roland Garros (96-16).
In addition, he equaled another Roger Federer record: the most players in the Open Era to advance to the third round of Wimbledon (18). They complete the top 5 on the list Jimmy Connors (17), Boris Becker (14) y Andy Murray (13).
