World number one Novak Djokovic cruised into the fourth round of Wimbledon with victory over 28th seed Jeremy Chardy.
Djokovic made just three unforced errors on his way to a 6-3 6-2 6-2 win over the Frenchman, who found his opponent unplayable.
The Serb, 26, lost just six points on his own serve, in a match which lasted one hour and 26 minutes, to send out a warning to the rest of the draw.
His last-16 opponent will be Tommy Haas, who beat Feliciano Lopez. Djokovic and Chardy’s last meeting came at Wimbledon in 2011, when the eventual champion again made easy work of his opponent, winning 6-4 6-1 6-1.
“I felt very confident stepping onto the court but it’s never easy against Chardy, he’s a quality player,” said Djokovic.
“Everything went my way. I haven’t lost many points on my service game, I enjoyed it very much and it’s very enjoyable when everything works well.
“Not many times on the grass against a big server do you get to return this well on what is the fastest surface.”
Australian Bernard Tomic beat ninth seed Richard Gasquet to reach the fourth round for the second time.
Tomic, ranked 59 in the world, won 7-6 (9-7) 5-7 7-5 7-6 (7-5) in a match which lasted two hours and 46 minutes.
The 20-year-old will next face seventh seed Tomas Berdych after he beat Kevin Anderson of South Africa 3-6 6-3 6-4 7-5.
