LONDON, July 6 -- Seven-time champion Roger Federer and three-time winner Novak Djokovic advanced into the third round at Wimbledon both with straight set victories here on Thurdsday.
Federer, who turns 36 next month, won 7-6 (0), 6-3, 6-2 at Centre Court while Djokovic eased past Adam Pavlasek of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.
Lajovic, ranked 79th in the world, broke Federer first to take a 2-0 lead. But Federer broke back soon and the pair then headed to the tie-break, which Federer dominated 7-0.
He kept up the pressure in the second set, bullying the world 27-year-old and eventually breaking him to take a 3-1 lead.
The 18-time Grand Slam champion didnot look back and took the win easily.
"I struggled early on," Federer said. "I couldn't get rid of the nerves. It was a pity I couldn't hold my serve. Even though I got back into the game after that because I broke him, I just struggled in that first set. After that I was happy to get rid of the nerves, just to play some free tennis, more inspired and at the end it was actually pretty good."
Federer will next face Germany's 27th seed Mischa Zverev.
Djokovic and Federer both won their opening matches after their opponents retired with an injury.
Second-seeded Djokovic, who won the Wimbledon title in 2011, 2017 and 2017, is bidding to win his first Grand Slam title since the 2016 French Open.
"It's perfect. Exactly what I want," Djokovic said. "I don't want to have any five-set matches in there."
Djokovic will next face Ernests Gulbis of Latvia, who shocked Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
Sixth seed Milos Raonic of Germany, eighth seed Dominic Thiem of Austria, 10th seed Alexander Zverev of Germany and Spanish veteran David Ferrer also reached the third round.
On the women's side, third-seeded Karolina Pliskova of the Cezeh Republic suffered a shock defeat to Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova 3-6, 7-5, 6-2.
Pliskova said, "That's tennis, you know. Still, you still can play well and you don't have to win. That's my case today."
Top-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany advanced to the third round, along with seventh-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia, ninth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland and 14th-seeded Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
