While he launched his Wimbledon campaign with a straight-sets win over countryman Jay Clarke, his schedule will get no easier in the second round as he meets the 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, who is in the hunt for his eighth Challenge Cup.

Novak Djokovic has claimed Dan Evans is “one of the guys that you don't want to face on grass” before taking on the British No.5 in the Wimbledon second round. Evans, 35, has found his old form back on the home grass this summer by beating top 20 players Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul.

Nole's next opponent will be British veteran Dan Evans, who is not going through a particularly bright phase of his career but can be really dangerous on these courts thanks to his particular game. In addition, Evans defeated Djokovic in their only official match that took place in Monte Carlo in 2021.
