World number one Novak Djokovic on Wednesday stormed into the third round of the ongoing Wimbledon 2021.

Djokovic defeated South Africa's Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 here at Centre Court.

The 34-year-old Djokovic brought his A-game in the first set, and he dropped just three games, and he ended up winning it 6-3.

In the second set, Anderson got off to a good start and he managed to take a 2-1 lead. However, Djokovic showed his class and he made a comeback to win the second set 6-3.

Carrying his momentum forward, the world number one did not relent and he ended up winning the match in straight sets.

Earlier, Djokovic had defeated British wild card, Jack Draper, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 on Monday in the first-round match.
