Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic outclassed Dan Evans in what could be the British veteran’s final appearance at Wimbledon.
Evans, now ranked 154th in the world and given a wildcard to play at the All England Club, lost 6-3 6-2 6-0 in their second-round match.
Serb great Djokovic, 38, produced a serving masterclass which even left Evans shaking his head in disbelief at several points.
The 35-year-old home favourite, who was willed on by an encouraging Centre Court crowd, won just nine of his 58 receiving points (16%) in the match.

Djokovic, seeded sixth this year, also demonstrated why he is still one of the best returners in the men’s game by converting six of his 16 break points.
