Djokovic, Serena move into new look Wimbledon last-16

London, June 30: Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams cruised effortlessly into the Wimbledon fourth round as the first week’s shockwaves left just eight of the top 20 seeds still standing.
World number one Djokovic, the 2011 champion, destroyed French 28th seed Jeremy Chardy, 6-3 6-2 6-2 in just 86 minutes yesterday.
He fired 38 winners, eight aces and committed just three unforced errors.
“I felt very confident to step onto the court and everything went my way,” said Djokovic after his 50th career grasscourt win.
“I haven’t lost many points on my service games. I did everything I wanted to do. I enjoy it very much when everything works well. It’s a fantastic feeling.”
Djokovic, yet to drop his serve, will tackle veteran Tommy Haas for a place in the quarter-finals, just weeks after he beat the German in the French Open quarter-finals.
But 13th-seeded Haas beat the Serb star in Miami this season and also got the better of him in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2009.
Women’s defending champion Serena Williams was equally ruthless taking just over an hour to carve out a 6-2, 6-0 win over Japanese 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm. (AGENCIES)
