Novak Djokovic had an easy match with Stan Wawrinka, whom he defeated in the end of the match, which lasted two hours and 10 minutes.

The Serb had no problems with the multiple Grand Slam winner until the third set, where they were split in a tie-break.

At the end of the debate, the former world leader praised the Swiss, whom he respects for the high level he shows despite his 38 years.

“First of all, I want to say that it’s amazing what Stan is doing at his age after multiple surgeries.

What is the problem? We’re two old guys fighting young guns… We have to keep that in mind. I have a lot of respect for Stan as a player and love him as a person. I wish him all the best.” Nole said.

The Serb also had a round of 16 match against Hubert Gurkac (18 ATP), a player who has yet to lose a set at Wimbledon.

“It will be the most difficult test for me. I have seen him play, he is very comfortable on the grass. He did not lose a set. He beat Federer here a few years ago and doesn’t mind playing on big courts. He’s a good guy, it’s going to be a great fight.” – concluded Novak Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic and Hubert Gurkach met 5 times. Nole won every time.
