Kopriva, ranked 123rd in the ATP rankings, had limited experience on grass, with his professional play on this surface limited to Wimbledon qualifying rounds in 2022, 2023 and this year. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to match the consistency and accuracy of his illustrious opponent. Djokovic made only 16 unforced errors and won an impressive 90 percent (35/39) of the points behind his first serve, testament to his dominance throughout the match.

Reflecting on his performance and recovery, Djokovic told broadcasters, “I really tried to focus on the game and not really think too much about the knee. I did everything I could with my team over the last three and a half weeks to give myself a chance to play. I think if it were for any other tournament, maybe I wouldn't risk it or rush into it so much, but I just love Wimbledon."

Djokovic's movement on the court was fluid and confident, dispelling any concerns about his fitness. Her passion for Wimbledon was evident, as she emphasized the lengths she and her team went to ensure she could compete at her favorite Grand Slam.

Now boasting a 19-6 record for the year, Djokovic is set to face domestic wild card Jacob Fearnley or qualifier Alejandro Moro Cañas in the next round.
