Novak Djokovic wins an exhibition match against Herlingham’s Francis Tiafoe

The Serb cruised through an exhibition match played by Francis Tiafoe in Herlingham, 6-3, 3-6, 10-7.

At the age of 36 (he turned 22 on May 22), Nole is targeting his eighth Wimbledon title at the All England Club. If he succeeds, the Serbian will equal the record (still) held by Roger Federer.

After winning the title at Roland Garros (the 23rd major in his career – an absolute record), Joker thought it best to rest and recover before the third Grand Slam tournament of the current season.

“It’s always fun to play against Frances. We get along very well. Obviously, Wimbledon is coming, so we tried to play at a normal pace” – Novak Djokovic.
