Novak Djokovic volleys a return to Kwon Soon-woo. AP/PTI
london, June 27
These days, Novak Djokovic makes history just about every time he wins another match. Today, the top-ranked Serb did just that at Wimbledon. Djokovic, a six-time champion at the All England Club, beat Kwon Soon-woo 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4, his 80th victory at the grass-court Major. With it, he became the first man or woman to win that many matches at each of the four Grand Slam tournaments.
Djokovic was playing for the first time since losing to Rafael Nadal last month in the French Open quarterfinals. It didn’t all go his way today. With the roof closed because of sporadic rain, Kwon was able to pick his spots with his booming forehand. But Djokovic stepped it up and played like he usually plays in southwest London — unbeatable. — AP
