Novak Djokovic vs Kevin Anderson live stream — how to watch Wimbledon match online
Djokovic knows Anderson well, and that's bad news for the underdog
Djokovic vs Anderson is already underway! Djokovic leads 1 set to none!
In the U.S., Wimbledon is split between ESPN and the Tennis Channel, and you can get both via Sling TV Orange with Sports Extra. Sling starts as low as $10 for the first month thanks to a current sale. Both networks are included with Fubo (7-day free trial).
In the U.K., it's free with BBC iPlayer, but Brits traveling abroad will need a VPN such as Express VPN to watch like they're back home.
The Novak Djokovic vs Kevin Anderson live stream is live! The Joker looking to make another step toward his sixth Wimbledon title. In his way is South Africa's Kevin Anderson, who arrives in the second round after beating Chile's Marcelo Tomás Barrios Vera in four sets.
Similarly, Djokovic only took four (of the best-of-five) sets to dispatch U.K. teen Jack Draper. Anderson's sets (6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4)) were a little more contentious than Djokovic's (4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2), though, as the latter set ended in just over two hours, while the former needed over three.
History is also on Djokovic's side, as he's won 9 of their 11 meetings, with 82% of the wins. As if this wasn't lopsided enough, their ranks — Djokovic at World's No. 1 and Anderson at World's No. 102 — are as wide a disparity as we ever see.
Anderson's victories over Djokovic came at the 2018 Laver Cup and the 2008 ATP Masters 1000, while Djokovic's wins include three Wimbledon meetings (2011, 2015 and 2018).

Their most interesting Wimbledon match was in 2015, when Anderson took the first two sets — via tiebreakers [6-7 (6/8), 6-7 (6/8)], only for Djokovic to win the final three: 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Their 2018 meeting was in the Wimbledon finals, though, so Anderson has made it far before. Djokovic won 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/3).
