Top-seeded Novak Djokovic defeated the Netherlands’ Tallon Griekspoor 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in 99 minutes to advance to the third round of the U.S. Open men’s singles on Thursday.
“Great performance. Better definitely than the first-round match,” Djokovic said.
The Serbian world No. 1 broke early and often – twice in each set – and sealed the victory.
“Obviously I’m very pleased with the way I came out on the court. I served very well. I found my rhythm on the serve. It was important I came up with the goods,” Djokovic added.
Djokovic will now face Japan’s Kei Nishikori in the third round. Enditem
