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.
