Novak Djokovic Shines At Wimbledon, Iga Swiatek Advances
Novak Djokovic launched his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and 24th Grand Slam triumph on Monday with his 40th successive win on Centre Court as Russian players defiantly marked their return from a controversial 2022 ban. The 36-year-old Djokovic, who has won the past four titles at the All England Club, defeated 68th-ranked Pedro Cachin of Argentina, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) on the tournament's showpiece court, where he has not lost since 2013. Djokovic even found time to help ground staff dry out probably the world's most famous lawn after the surface became too slippery following a downpour.
