Novak Djokovic was made to work hard for his first-round victory at Wimbledon on Monday
Novak Djokovic began his Wimbledon title defence with a rusty four-set win against Kwon Soon-woo on Centre Court on opening Monday.
Djokovic is a six-time winner of the Wimbledon Championships and has won the last three editions of the grass-court major.
Despite dropping the second set, the Serb found his feet as the match went on and secured his 80th Wimbledon match win 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 in just under two-and-a-half hours.
The victory makes him the first man or woman to have won at least that many singles matches at each of the four major tournaments.
Djokovic will take on either Thanasi Kokkinakis or Kamil Majchrzak in the second round.
