World number one Novak Djokovic has progressed into the fourth round of Wimbledon with a four-sets win over Radek Stepanek.

Djokovic looked in control during the earlier games, despite Stepanek holding serve. However, Stepanek broke the Serbian in the final game of the first set to take an unlikely lead.

Stepanek was broken in the first game of the second set, and then again in the penultimate game to give Djokovic a comfortable 6-2 win and level the match.

The third set began in a similar manner, with the Serbian breaking twice in Stepanek's opening two service games to once again take the set 6-2.

Then the reigning champion completed a trio of 6-2 set wins in the third. Djokovic raced into a 4-0 lead before Stepanek fought back in a mammoth fifth game, but Djokovic held onto his serve to complete the victory.
