The top-seeded Serbian took the match, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, ousting the Australian in just 1 hour and 31 minutes. He won a blazing 81% of his first-serve points, executing at the net with ease at an 18-of-23 clip.
Like most of Djokovic's matches, his opponent felt like he was right there, only to be ousted convincingly before he knew it.
"It was very close in moments, but somehow in those big points he just gets that...I can't even describe it in words. Too good, too good. To get to that level, you need to work hard.” Tomic said as much to Wimbledon.com's Helen Gilbert:
Djokovic faced just his first seeded opponent of the tournament Friday, but it still didn't cause him to seriously sweat any of his three victorious sets. That bodes well for the Serbian entering his seventh straight Wimbledon round of 16.
There's also a chance that one of Djokovic's future opponents could be gassed, as the Cilic-Isner winner will have to face the surprising Kudla for the right to face Djokovic—should he get past 14th-seeded Kevin Anderson on Sunday
