Where is Novak Djokovic playing ?
The World No. 1 will compete at the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Club. This will be his second competitive match on grasscourt this season.
Who is Novak Djokovic playing against ?
Djokovic will square off against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round at the All England Club.
The Australian kicked off his Wimbledon campaign with an emphatic straight-sets victory over Kamil Majchrzak, winning his first match at SW19 and moving to the second round. Kokkinakis is yet to get past the second round of a Slam since 2015.
Kokkinakis has been in decent touch this season with a success ratio of 60 percent and a title-winning campaign at the Adeliade International 2. The former World No. 69 also won the men's doubles trophy at the Australian Open with Nick Kyrgios earlier this year.
After a first-round exit at the French Open, the 26-year-old kicked off his grasscourt season at the Surbiton Challenger in London. His stint didn't last too long as he failed to get over the line against Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen in the first round.
However, he has registered some big wins this year, defeating the likes of Diego Schwartzman, Marin Cilic and John Isner. With a first win on grass under his belt, Kokkinakis will be looking at the positives to help him get through to the second round.
