Novak Djokovic beat Vasek Pospisil to reach the third round at Eastbourne.

In his first competitive match on grass this year, the Serb, who received a bye in round one, registered a 6-4 6-3 win.

It was Djokovic's first match since his defeat in the French Open quarter-finals earlier in the month as he continues his preparations for Wimbledon, which starts on 3 July.

He will face either Donald Young or his fellow American Jarden Donaldson in the third round.

The match was scheduled for Tuesday but only nine minutes of play was possible on Centre Court before rain led to play being cancelled for the day.
