Novak Djokovic won and played well in his debut at Wimbledon against Kopriva. The former world number 1 has left just five games to his opponent, showing excellent physical condition despite knee surgery a few weeks ago.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion will face Jacob Fearnley in the next round. Fearnley wants to fully enjoy this experience: "I dont think a lot of people know how to answer that question. I have no idea. Ive seen a lot of his videos and he has no weaknesses. I think Ill go out and enjoy and put my game on court and see what happens. I dont think its a game where you put a lot of tactics.

There are many doubts Novak Djokovic had to face in recent weeks: the first was directly linked to his presence at the Championships. After his right knee surgery in Paris on June 5, the Serbian champion started a race against time to try to play Wimbledon, the tournament he always loved and that allowed him to realize one of his greatest dreams.
"The training week, as I said, was great. It is clear that the competition is very different, especially if it is the first official match on the Wimbledon Central Field. I didnt know what I would feel on the field and how my knee would respond, but I couldnt ask for a better tournament start.
Today I didnt feel any kind of pain comparable to the one I felt during the match against Francisco Cerundolo at Roland Garros" Djokovic explained at the conference. "I started with a little caution, maybe not pushing 100%.
I played well enough to win safely in three sets. I felt that as the minutes went by I was starting to move better and better. On his next opponent - wild card Jacob Fearnley, he finally said, "Ive never seen him play, so Ill have to study.
