Wimbledon 2025: Djokovic Cruises Past Evans in Straight Sets

Novak Djokovic Beats Dan Evans in Wimbledon 2025: Straight Sets Masterclass

Novak Djokovic beats Dan Evans in Wimbledon 2025, advancing to the third round with a commanding straight-sets victory. The seven-time Wimbledon champion delivered a clinical performance on Centre Court, defeating British wildcard Dan Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 in just one hour and 47 minutes. This win brings Djokovic one step closer to his historic 25th Grand Slam title.

Djokovic’s Dominant Performance

Djokovic, seeded sixth this year, showed no signs of the stomach issues that troubled him in his opening-round match. He was in complete control from the start, breaking Evans’ serve early in each set and never letting his opponent gain momentum. The Serb fired 46 winners and kept his unforced errors low, dismantling Evans’ game and leaving no room for an upset.

• Scoreline: 6-3, 6-2, 6-0
• Match Duration: 1 hour 47 minutes
• Winners: 46
• Opponent: Dan Evans (wildcard, world No. 154)

Closing in on Tennis History

With this victory, Djokovic notched his 99th career win at Wimbledon, further cementing his legacy at the All England Club. He now holds a 99-12 win-loss record at Wimbledon and is just one win away from joining Roger Federer as the only men’s players to reach 100 match wins at the tournament.

Djokovic is also chasing his eighth Wimbledon title, which would tie Federer’s all-time men’s record. The Serb remains tied with Margaret Court at 24 Grand Slam singles titles and is determined to use this year’s grass-court major to reach the historic 25th.

“It means I’ve been playing quite a long time! I still enjoy it. This court has given me so much. Wimbledon has a special place in my heart. Any history made here is obviously extra special.” — Novak Djokovic after his win

This match marked Djokovic’s first-ever ATP Tour win over Dan Evans. Their only previous meeting was at the 2021 Monte Carlo Masters, where Evans won on clay. On grass at Wimbledon, however, Djokovic’s experience and class proved overwhelming.

What’s Next for Djokovic?

Djokovic advances to the third round, where he continues his quest for a record-breaking Grand Slam and another Wimbledon crown. His form and fitness suggest he remains a top contender, especially after showing no residual effects from his earlier stomach issues.
