Novak Djokovic made serene progress into the fourth round at Wimbledon with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win over American Mardy Fish Friday.
The Serbian fourth seed, who made a shock exit in round two 12 months ago, seems to be peaking at the right time and barely put a foot wrong in a match lasting just under two hours.
Djokovic, largely ignored so far amid all the hype over a possible Roger Federer-Andy Murray final, fired an unreturnable serve to win the match then threw his wristbands into the crowd.
Being under the radar suited Djokovic perfectly.
"Right now, I feel quite okay that people are not talking about me too often, which gives me a freedom to perform the best tennis I can on the court," he said after extending his record over Fish to 4-0.
"Andy (Murray) is from this country and obviously a lot of people expect him to do well and to become the first British player to win Wimbledon after a long time.
"Then, on the other hand, you have Roger, who has equalled the record of (Pete) Sampras's grand slam victories and (has) five Wimbledons under his belt, so he's very respected here.
"It's normal that they are in the spotlight in this moment... (but) I was always dreaming of winning Wimbledon.
"It's the most prestigious event so hopefully I will have the opportunity and honour one day."
The 2008 Australian Open champion next faces Dudi Sela, who became the first Israeli to reach the last 16 of a grand slam since Amos Mansdorf at the Australian Open in 1992.
