Three-time champion Novak Djokovic has outclassed Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-1, 7-6, to advance to the 4th round of the men’s singles.

The Serbian ace was broken early in the opening set on Saturday but recovered in time and never looked back en route to completing the straight-sets victory in 2 hours and 12 minutes.

Djokovic will next meet Frenchman Adrian Mannarino who defeated his compatriot Gael Monfils in five sets. It’s the 10th time Djokovic has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon.
