Novak Djokovic shows compatriot Kecmanovic no mercy in ... (The Guardian)

Defending Wimbledon champion found his best form to defeat Miomir Kecmanovic 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 and progress to the last 16.

As in recent years, he arrived at Wimbledon without a match on grass after the French Open. Last year he lost his opening set of the tournament to Jack Draper and this year it was the second set of his opening match against Kwon Soon‑woo. Since then, he has responded with two extremely solid wins. With any other result, it would be hard not to consider this season one of the lowest points of his career. The decisive moment in the third set underlined the challenge he was up against. Kecmanovic was blown away in the first set and he could do little to halt Djokovic’s momentum. When Novak Djokovic was unable to compete at the Australian Open in January after his visa was cancelled, he was not the only player who saw the trajectory of his year immediately shift. Instead of the best player in the world, he faced a lucky loser, Salvatore Caruso. The Serb swore that he would do his best to “avenge” Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic thrashes Miomir Kecmanovic to reach Wimbledon ... (The Independent)

The defending champion made light work of his countryman in a 6-0 6-3 6-4 victory.

Kecmanovic managed to take a set off Djokovic when the pair met on clay at the Serbian Open earlier this year. There was nothing but admiration here, though, as Djokovic made the sort of blistering start that squashed any notion of a shock. The Dutch qualifier, Tim van Rijthoven, awaits in the fourth round after a fairytale run on his Wimbledon debut and Djokovic will only be too happy to reprise his role as the villain. By the time he did manage to settle, the first set had already been surrendered to love with less than half an hour played. Thirteen years separate the pair born in Belgrade but it is hard to envisage even a distant future where the defending champion is overthrown by his heir-apparent. They say familiarity breeds contempt and there was certainly no mercy shown as Novak Djokovic thrashed his friend and fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic to reach the Wimbledon fourth round.
