Novak Djokovic through after early scare

Serbian second seed Novak Djokovic overcame the challenge of Italy's Fabio Fognini to progress into the second round of the men's Olympic singles at Wimbledon.

The former world number one got off to a shaky start as Fognini claimed the opening set 9-7 in the tie-break following a lengthy rain delay.

Djokovic soon found his form in the second and took it 6-2 thanks to two service breaks.

It was a similar story in the third, with another two breaks giving the Serb a 6-2 triumph and a place in the next round, where he will meet American Andy Roddick or Slovenian Martin Klizan.
