Novak Djokovic clearly feels "satisfied" with where his game is at as he aims to win his 20th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this year. Djokovic was the heavy favourite heading into the first-round match against 19-year-old Jack Draper. The five-time champion came through 4-6 6-1 6-2 6-2 on Centre Court. "I think I probably had one of the best serving performances that I can recall on any surface," he said. "I think I matched, someone told me, the record I had whether it was earlier this year or last year in Australia, also 25 aces in four sets. "Yeah, I could not be more pleased with the rhythm of my serve. On grass, the quickest surface in our sport, it helps a lot getting a lot of free points on that first serve." But Djokovic reserved some praise for his young opponent, admitting Draper coped well on the big stage. "I thought he was playing well. He was fighting," Djokovic added. "Obviously for him, a unique occasion playing for the first time on Wimbledon Centre Court. He has done well. Had break chances in the first set to come back into the match. "He came up with some good serves. I was kind of slipping a few times on those breakpoints. Still finding my footing, I would say, on the grass that was quite slippery, quite moist. It was probably because of the roof. "But anyway, was a very good performance. I'm pleased with the second, third and fourth set, the way I played from the back of the court. I started returning better, as well, midway second set. All in all, I'm satisfied."
