Novak Djokovic through but rain wreaks havoc at Wimbledon

Everything continues to fall nicely for Novak Djokovic as he looks forward to a third-round tie at Wimbledon.

While the weather was causing havoc on the outside courts on the third day of this year’s championship, the world number one was playing under the Centre Court roof against Adrian Mannarino. The defending champion wrapped up a 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7/5) win in two hours and five minutes and with it secured an Open-era record of 30 successive grand slam victories.

As can often seem the way for players of supreme talent, such records seem to be swept away with some ease, and Djokovic is taking it all in his stride.
