The big-serving South African, Kevin Anderson, has been bundled out of Wimbledon in the second round.

Anderson was beaten in straight sets by the world number one and defending champion, Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic was flawless in his execution as he beat Anderson 6-3, 6-3 and 6-3 to advance to the third round.

“I’m very pleased,” said Djokovic.

“Kevin is a terrific player, very dangerous on fast grass courts. I held my serve comfortably, but it’s never easy to play an opponent that has a lot of quality in his shots, particularly in his serve, with a lot of experience playing on a big stage."

“Making as few unforced errors as possible, was one of the tactical goals today. I knew Kevin was going to serve big, I wouldn’t have too many chances to break. So, I might as well try to play solid but not too risky, and I did much better than I thought I would. I mean, I believe in myself but it was almost flawless.”

Djokovic will face America's Denis Kudla in the 3rd round after he beat Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-2, 6-4 and 6-2.
