Wimbledon: Djokovic cruises past Garin and into last eight
Djokovic is bidding to tie Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with a record 20th grand slam championship by defending his 2019 title.
Since losing the opening set of the tournament to Jack Draper, Djokovic has been in imperious form and he eased past Garin on Centre Court on Monday.
This was not vintage Djokovic, but his consistency on serve, strength on the return and remarkable movement skills helped him secure a 6-2 6-4 6-2 triumph to set up a last-eight meeting with Andrey Rublev or Marton Fucsovics.
Djokovic raced into a commanding position in the first set, winning the opening eight points of the match.
Indeed, Garin, aiming to reach the quarter-finals of a grand slam for the first time, appeared overmatched, winning only 10 points on serve as Djokovic took the first set with ease.
But the Chilean warmed to the occasion and displayed his resilience by saving three break points to hold for a 4-3 lead in a game that lasted over 10 minutes.
