Novak Djokovic aims to shed grasscourt rust in Wimbledon second round
Novak Djokovic dropped a set on the way to the second round at Wimbledon on Monday and did not look like the Mr Consistency who has become the first player to win 80 singles matches in each of the Grand Slam tournaments. But his opponents know that once the Serbian finds his 2022 grass legs, they will more than likely follow first-round victim Kwon Soo-woo out of the event. Djokovic had played no competitive tennis on grass coming into the tournament and ground out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against the lively South Korean. "I did not start or did not play at my best but I think when I needed to find the right shots, I did," Djokovic said. "I know I can do better." The top seed won three out of four Grand Slam titles last year but lost in the U.S. Open final in September then caused controversy when he arrived to defend his Australian Open title only to be held and then deported because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Wimbledon: Djokovic overcomes dogged challenge from Korean Kwon
The romance didn't last very long or so it seemed. As early as the opening game of the first-round clash, a spectator shouted 'Come on Kwon' as Djokovic prepared to serve at 40-30. It sounded more like a stand against the Serbian rather than support for the Karaoke-loving South Korean Soonwoo Kwon. And when the world No. 81 ripped a forehand down-the-line to break early in the set, the shout appeared to split the roof that was drawn over the iconic facility on a rain-interrupted afternoon.
