The rematch of the 2018 Wimbledon final ended with another straight-set win for Novak Djokovic.
The top-ranked Serb delivered what he called an “almost flawless performance” in beating Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court to reach the third round.
Djokovic never faced a break point and broke for 5-3 in the third set with a forehand winner before converting his second match point when Anderson sent a shot long.
It was the two-time defending champion’s 16th straight match win at Wimbledon.
Anderson also lost the 2017 U.S. Open final but has slipped out of the top 100 in the rankings.
