Novak Djokovic was delighted after his convincing win against Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva by 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday at Centre Court. Djokovic said he was pleased with the way he moved on the court after undergoing a surgery on his right knee.

The Serbian had to withdraw from Roland Garros quarterfinal due to a meniscus tear in his knee and thus there were doubts on his Wimbledon participation when he underwent the knife. However, Djokovic was able to hit the ground running on his return game after recovering.

Djokovic wrapped up the match in one-hour, 58-minute as he came up with a dominating performance.

“It was very good. I was very pleased with the way I moved on the court today,” said Djokovic in his on-court interview. “Obviously coming into Wimbledon this year, it was a little bit of a different circumstance for me because of the knee. I didn’t know how everything was going to unfold on the court really. Practice sessions are quite different to official match play, so I’m just extremely glad about the way I played and the way I felt today.”

Djokovic was able to break his opponent serve twice in each set as he registered a comprehensive victory.

The 24-time Slam champion said he wanted to focus on the game and didn’t want to think too much about his knee.

“I tried to really focus on the game and not really think too much about the knee,” said Djokovic. “Everything I could possibly do, I have done, along with my team, in the past three and a half weeks in order to give myself a chance to be able to play. I think if it was for any other tournament, I probably wouldn’t risk it or rush it as much, but I just love Wimbledon.”

Djokovic will next take on home wild card Jacob Fearnley in the second round on Thursday.
