Wimbledon (CNN)Novak Djokovic won the title defense ofWimbledonon Monday, but was No. 81 in the world. Work hard for his 6-3 3-66-3 6-4 victory over Kwon Sung Fu.
On the first day of action at Wimbledon, Djokovic achieved his fourth straight victory at SW19 and began playing under the roof of the center court to win his first Grand Slam of the year.
Topseed's victory over Kwon was probably not as routine as expected. First, Kwon leveled the match by taking a second set, as he came from a breakdown in the opening set.
Djokovic began to find rhythm towards the end of the fourth and completed his victory after securing a break in the middle of the fourth. He has just saved three breakpoints on his serve.
With this victory, Djokovic won 22 consecutive victories at Wimbledon. This goes back to the 2017 quarterfinals. He faces either Thanasi Kokkinakis or Kamil Majchrak in the second round.
