Novak Djokovic defeated Soonwoo Kwon as he reached the second round of Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.
The Serbian secured a 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory against his world No. 81-ranked opinion, bringing Djokovic to a 22nd consecutive win at SW19. The win also took him to 22 consective matches.
The Serbian champion, a 20-time major winner, struggled to assert his dominance, with Kwon going up in the first and second set, but each time the 3-1 advantage was repelled.
Djokovic had struggled since his return to full-time tennis after a troubled time with coronavirus regulations but he is now through to the second round.
He will face the winner of Thanasi Kokkinakis and Kamil Majchrzak.
“I’ve said this before but this court is truly special, for me it has always been the court I dreamed of playing and winning and all my childhood dreams came true here so it’s an honour and pleasure to be back on Centre Court,” said Djokovic after the win.
