Novak Djokovic sails into Wimbledon fourth round with win over Miomir Kecmanovic

Novak Djokovic on Friday made easy work of fellow Serbian player Miomir Kecmanovic to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon, clinching a 6-0 6-3 6-4 victory.

Djokovic, who is aiming to win a fourth successive SW19 title, won the first set inside 24 minutes.

The top seed was unplayable in the opening set of his third-round match on Centre Court, taking it in 24 minutes.

Kecmanovic, seeded 25, received the biggest cheer of the day when he finally got on the scoreboard after 35 minutes by taking a long service game.

But Djokovic was streets ahead of his 22-year-old rival as he reached the last 16 at Wimbledon for the 14th time.

The 35-year-old needed just one break of serve in the second set and broke twice in the third to lead 5-2 before blotting his copybook slightly with a couple of loose games.

It only delayed the inevitable, however, as Djokovic completed victory to set up a clash with Dutch wildcard Tim van Rijthoven.
