LONDON: Three-time champion Novak Djokovic reached the Wimbledon second round on Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 win over Tennys Sandgren of the United States.

Djokovic, seeded 12, was back at the tournament where last year he was forced to retire from his quarter-final against Tomas Berdych with an elbow injury.

The Serb, who was contesting his 100th career grass court match, will face either Horacio Zeballos or Guido Andreozzi, both of Argentina, for a place in the last 32.
