Novak Djokovic of Serbia cruised past a qualifier, Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in a men's singles first round match at the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Tuesday.

It took Djokovic less than two hours to finish his first match since tearing the meniscus in his right knee at the French Open on June 3. He laid down 32 winners, twice as many as his unforced-error tally. His opponent in the second round will be wild card home player Jacob Fearnley.

"Very pleased with the way I felt on the court. Obviously, coming into Wimbledon this year was little bit of different circumstances for me, because of the knee. I didn't know how everything was going to unfold on the court, really," the No. 2 seed said. "Practice sessions are quite different from official match play. I'm just extremely glad [with] the way I felt today, the way I played."

The tournament's sixth seed, Andrey Rublev of Russia, was upset by Francisco Comesana of Argentina 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6(5) in the first round.

"I dreamed to play here. I'm so happy I don't know what to say now," Comesana said after the victory. This was his first match at the Wimbledon. He will face Adam Walton of Australia in the second round.
