World number one Novak Djokovic continued his rampaging form as he stormed into the third round of the Wimbledon after defeating Adrian Mannarino in straight sets at the All England Club on Wednesday.
The Serbian defending champion recorded a 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) win over France's Mannarino in the second round and will next face either Sam Querrey or Thomaz Bellucci for a place in the last 16, Sport24 reported.
This was Djokovic's 30th successive Grand Slam victory.
If he succeeds in lifting the Wimbledon crown for a third successive time, the 12-time Grand Slam champion will reach three-quarters of his way to become the first since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete the calendar Grand Slam.
Djokovic completed the career Grand Slam after his clinching the elusive French Open title earlier this month.
