2012 Wimbledon Update: Novak Djokovic Advances, Roger Federer Battling

Stay connected for news and updates

Novak Djokovic took care of business against Radek Stepanek in the third round of Wimbledon on Friday with a four-set match victory, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. Aside from the first set, Djokovic had very little trouble against Stepanek and played a decent overall game.

Djokovic record 13 aces to Stepankek's eight, but both players were 66 percent on first serve. Roger Federer, the living legend and Djokovic's nemesis in this tournament without question, is battling with Julien Benneteau after dropping the first two sets to the Frenchman.

No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal has already been eliminated early from this tournament, and if Federer's rally were to fail, it would be back-to-back stunning upsets at Wimbledon.

Let's see how it all plays out.
