Novak Djokovic meets Bobby Reynolds on Thursday for the second round of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. The match is the third of the day on Centre court, and should start at approximately 11:50 a.m. ET. Watch the live stream here.
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic defeated Florian Mayer in three sets in the opening round. Djokovic already has three titles under his belt this year, including the Australian Open, the Dubai Open and the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters. He comes to Wimbledon on the heels of an exciting, five-set loss at the French Open to rival Rafael Nadal, Tennis Earth reports.
The Wimbledon draw favored Djokovic, stacking the other side of his draw with Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Nadal. Djokovic's chances of capturing the Wimbledon title improved with the early exits of Federer and Nadal.
More importantly, Djokovic appears comfortable on the slippery grass. The court, which forced seven players on Wednesday to withdraw because of injury, hasn't affected the Serb's game.
With the number of upsets so far, the final is a distant thought. It's a one-game-at-a-time mentality and Reynolds is next.
Reynolds entered the tournament as a qualifier and advanced to the second round after winning a five-set match against Steve Johnson. Reynolds, once ranked No. 63 in the World, presently ranks No. 156.
Thursday is the first-ever match between Djokovic and Reynolds. Djokovic is the overwhelming favorite to win.
