"I thought I served well in the moments when I really need it and I was looking for the first serve," Djokovic told the ATP website.

"I thought I found pretty good accuracy and angles with the first serve, and also my second serve worked pretty well.

Overall my game was so-and-so. In the moments when I probably needed to step it up, I did.

Djokovic fired down five aces and faces gave up no break opportunities on his way to the third round, where he will meet either Dominic Thiem or Stefanos Tsitsipas.
