NOVAK Djokovic crushed British wildcard Dan Evans in the Wimbledon second round as he stepped up his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title.
-
After three days of stunning upsets at Wimbledon, Djokovic avoided becoming the latest star to crash out in second-round action.
The Serb needed just one hour and 47 minutes to dispatch Evans with a ruthless 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 victory on Centre Court.
"It means I've been playing quite a long time!" Djokovic said, when told he had just secured his 99th Wimbledon match victory.
"I still enjoy it. This court has given me so much. Wimbledon has a special place in my heart.
"Any history made here is obviously extra special."
