( CNN ) -- Novak Djokovic gave a perfect illustration of why he 's the top ranked player in the world as he dismantled France 's Jeremy Chardy to reach the Wimbledon fourth round Saturday . The Serbian made it look ominously easy against an opponent seeded 28th for the grass court grand slam and ran out a 6-3 6-2 6-2 winner in a shade under an hour and a half . The match statistics revealed he did not make a single unforced error until the sixth game of the third set when he double faulted on his own service and winners flowed freely from his racket , nearly 40 in all . Chardy , who has upset a number of leading players in his career , British hope and No.2 seed Andy Murray included , was simply outclassed on Centre Court . Djokovic , bidding to add to his single title at SW19 , won in his outstanding year of 2011 , will go into the fourth round and second week with confidence on a high . The Australian Open champion will play German veteran Tommy Haas for a place in the quarterfinals after the 13th seed beat Feliciano Lopez of Spain , 4-6 6-2 7-5 6-4 . Big-hitting Czech Tomas Berdych is also in Djokovic 's section of the draw and he came through after a four-set battle with Kevin Anderson of South Africa , 3-6 6-3 6-4 7-5 . The seventh seed must first get past unseeded young Australian Bernard Tomic , who underlined his potential by dispatching ninth ranked Richard Gasquet of France . After his 7-6 5-7 7-5 7-6 win over Gasquet , Tomic said he was confident of repeating the dose . `` Now I 'm playing someone different , Tomas Berdych , who is a very , very good player . I 'm going to have to study up on that , work with my team and my dad to give myself the best chance of winning , '' he said . Tomic 's father John is barred from the All England Club after an alleged assault in Madrid on his son 's former practice partner Thomas Drouet , but they have been working together outside of the grounds , the world number 59 revealed . Spain 's David Ferrer had to battle long and hard to clinch his place in the last 16 after a five-set tussle with Ukraine 's Alexandr Dolgopolov . The never say die fourth seed had to come from two sets to one down before clinching the decider 6-2 . Ferrer lost in the French Open final earlier this month to compatriot Rafael Nadal , who suffered a shock defeat on the first day of the championship . Defending men 's champion Roger Federer followed him through the exit door on Wednesday , leaving the way apparently clear for Djokovic and Murray , both of whom have been impeccable form in the first week . In the women 's singles , top seed Serena Williams was an equally emphatic winner against 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan . Williams , bidding for her 17th grand slam title in her Wimbledon defense , was only briefly troubled by her veteran opponent before racing to a 6-2 6-0 win under the Centre Court roof late Saturday . She will next play Sabine Lisicki after the German accounted for Australia 's Sam Stosur . Earlier , the home crowd were left to celebrate the passage of 19-year-old Laura Robson to the last 16 after she beat New Zealand 's Marina Erakovic , 1-6 , 7-5 , 6-3 on a packed Court Two . 2011 champion Petra Kvitova , the eighth seed , and with a golden opportunity in her section of the draw after the exits of Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka , battled past Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-3 2-6 6-3 .
