Djokovic (8/11 to win the title - outright) beat Kwon Soon-woo 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 under the Centre Court roof, and he is now on his way to a potential seventh title at SW19, which would take him one behind Roger Federer.
He will now face Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round, and both Murray and Norrie will join him.
Murray maintained his record of never losing in the first round at Wimbledon, as he beat James Duckworth of Australia 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4. He will now face American John Isner in the second round on Wednesday.
Norrie beat Spain's Pablo Andujar 6-0 7-6 (7-3) 6-4, and the ninth seed will hope to continue that form as he tries to reach the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time.
