Novak Djokovic expressed pride in his performance Thursday, telling the crowd he "executed perfectly" in a 107-minute sweep of Daniel Evans, which helped him advance to Wimbledon's third round a record 19th time.

Novak Djokovic knows he's now the elder statesman at Wimbledon. Djokovic, 38, reached the third round of the grass-court tournament for a record 19th time on Thursday after beating unseeded Briton Dan Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. In his post-match interview, he used that fact to joke about his age and his younger rivals.

In the men’s draw, Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing a third consecutive title in SW19, and is also looking to become the second player to win Roland Garros, Queen’s and Wimbledon in the same year. World No 1 Jannik Sinner and British No 1 Jack Draper are the other favourites in the men’s draw.
