A poison, what poison? Jordan Thompson is certainly a very good grass player, finalist this year at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, endowed in addition with a great fighting-spirit as evidenced by his comeback from two sets to nothing in the 1st round here against Brandon Nakashima. But it takes more, much more to raise even an eyebrow at Novak Djokovic, easily winning 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-5 in 2h27 at the end of a match he did not fly over but that he managed with his hand from the first to the last point. While chaos still reigns in some parts of the table, here is the Serb warm in the 3rd round, stage at which he will face Stan Wawrinka or Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
Faced with an Australian who delivered a good performance, Djokovic was not always freewheeling but it is an understatement to say that he never doubted. Evidenced by this statistic finally quite rare in him: he did not have to save the slightest break point of the game. Another statistic, much less rare this one: he won his 9th consecutive tie break in the 2nd set! And in the 3rd set, he jumped on his first break point of the set, which was also a match point. As often, when the “hot” moments arrived, Novak “Djokovis” tightened all the bolts.

This victory will not necessarily remain in a good place in his personal memory cabinet, but it nevertheless has a good numerical value: it is his 29th consecutive at Wimbledon and it is above all his 350th in a Grand Slam, a staggering milestone only reached before him. by Roger Federer (369) and Serena Williams (365). In short, a very good day at the office once again for Novak Djokovic, who calmly continues his green march towards a possible eighth record coronation at Wimbledon.
