On Monday, No.1 World Tennis star Novak Djokovic started his Wimbledon road, extending his Centre Court record to 40 consecutive wins.

Djokovic defeated Argentina's Pedro Cachin 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7-4) on Centre Court.

The game was postponed for 70 minutes due to heavy rains that impacted the court. Djokovic dried the court with his towel. 

Djokovic said after the game: "Every time I come out I normally have racquets, not towels - it was fun to do something different."

He added: "It was a little bit [of] a strange feeling but hopefully you guys liked it.

"It was definitely frustrating for all the crowd waiting for us to come out on court. We both wanted to play but the conditions were not great and still slippery.

"Once the roof was open it was a different story and after five or 10 minutes we were able to play."

Djokovic is trying to secure his eighth Wimbledon title and reach Roger Federer's record for a male player.
