Djokovic victorious after injury scare

Rolling around in pain clutching his left shoulder, Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon hopes looked in serious jeopardy against Gilles Simon on Centre Court on Friday but he recovered to win 6-4 6-2 6-4 and reach the last 16.

Leading 3-2 in the third set the Serb was closing in on an uneventful victory against his French opponent when he stumbled and dived to reach a forehand, crashing heavily to the turf.

With the 2011 champion apparently in extreme pain and with concerned coach Boris Becker watching on, it looked as though Djokovic might not be able to continue but after walking to his chair where a trainer manipulated his shoulder, he carried on.

Despite looking a little tentative, he showed no obvious signs of discomfort and finished the job with a smash.

Djokovic will now get the weekend to recover from his fall before playing 14th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the fourth round.

Djokovic said he had called for medical attention on court for reassurance he had not damaged his left-shoulder joint.

"I thought it was an awkward fall, I was just hoping there was nothing bad going on with the joint," he said.

"Luckily there's no damage in the joint, I could play a few games after that and just the muscle was quite sore because of the impact.

"But all in all I'm just very glad to get through."
