AP | Djokovic perdió el equilibrio en más de una ocasión, al igual que jugadores en otros partidos
Novak Djokovic vivió una odisea en el resbaladizo césped de Wimbledon. El número uno del mundo se deslizó, patinó y hasta se tropezó al doblegar el miércoles a Kevin Anderson por 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 por la segunda ronda.
Por lo demás, el partido no le deparó sobresaltos al astro serbio. No encaró una sola bola de quiebre y cometió apenas seis errores no forzados, incluyendo uno con su forehand.

World number one Ashleigh Barty bucked the upset trend at the Miami Open on Thursday, rolling into the women s final as men s second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was toppled by Hurbert Hurkacz.
Australia s Barty fired 27 winners in a 6-3, 6-3 victory over fifth-seeded Ukrainian Elina Svitolina to return to the title match of a tournament she won when it was last held in 2019.
But Greece s Tsitsipas was left trying to explain a self-explosion after he squandered a commanding lead in a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 quarter-final loss to 26th seed Hurkacz of Poland the latest in a string of upsets that saw men s top seed Daniil Medvedev and No. 3 Alexander Zverev bow out along with women s No. 2 Naomi Osaka.

Serena Williams strolled into the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday but former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu s emotional comeback from 15 months out ended at the hands of Taiwanese veteran Hsieh Su-wei.
Williams, 39, continued her quest to equal Margaret Court s all-time mark of 24 Grand Slams with a 6-3, 6-0 romp past 99th-ranked Serbian Nina Stojanovic in just 69 minutes on Rod Laver Arena. l wasn t thinking as much in the second (set), as I was in the first, said Williams, who hit 27 winners in her 101st Australian Open match while again sporting her unique, one-legged catsuit inspired by track legend Flo-Jo .
serena? i was pulling for serena. i really was. mostly because otherwise i d feel old that a 19-year-old beat her. but i m telling you, it s one of those things where serena williams is still such a contender. she s still so poised. but to pass the torch she did in a classy way, how can you not be a fan of hers? she s getting to the finals a lot but she s having a hard time winning. at this point, she s going to be 38 years old in a couple weeks. it almost might be time to start saying when is she going to win number 24 is if she s going to win number 24. no one s ever won grand slam titles at serena s age. she holds the record for that. with players like andreescu and gauff getting better and better and better, it s just going to make it harder for serena to win a title. you re not making her feel any better. thank you. tom brady is old and he s still making it.
