David Goffin briefly irritated Novak Djokovic - and the world number one accepted the challenge in a way that will also be highly respected by his future opponents at Wimbledon 2019. After Goffin took the lead in the first set with a break to 4: 3, Djokovic took eleven games in a row and won after a time of 1:58 hours with 6: 4, 6: 0 and 6: 2.

With this, Djokovic continues to haunt his circles in pursuit of his fifth title at the most prestigious tennis circus tournament. Against Goffin, the Serb started a bit flawed. The outsider, who won the recent game against Djokovic in Monte Carlo in 2017, opened courageously, but gave the break lead in the eighth game as a server despite a 30-0 lead. After that, Novak Djokovic had reached operating temperature and had no problems booking his spot in the preliminary round.

There Djokovic meets Roberto Bautista Agut, who defeated Guido Pella on Court 1 in four sets. Novak Djokovic has already lost twice against the Spaniard in 2019 - at the start of the year in Doha and then at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami.
