Novak Djokovic jokingly challenged Rory McIlroy to a tennis match with the winner taking home the coveted Masters green jacket after easing into the third round of Wimbledon on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 24-time Grand Slam champion produced a dominant performance to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Centre Court and set up a third-round meeting with France’s Arthur Rinderknech.<\/p>\n

McIlroy, who completed a career Grand Slam by winning the Masters in 2025 before successfully defending the title earlier this year, watched the match from the Royal Box wearing the iconic green jacket.<\/p>\n
