Djokovic Races into Third Round

Second seed Novak Djokovic, who captured the 2008 Internazionali BNL d'Italia title, required just one hour to beat Jeremy Chardy of France 6-1, 6-1 to become the first player into the third round at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tennis tournament.

"The sooner you finish the happier you are," said Djokovic. "I've played in this tournament many times so you don't need many hours to get used to the court.

"Always in your first match [at] a tournament you don't know what to expect, especially [when you] play against a player with such a hard serve. It can be difficult but I was very focused right from the first moment.

"I think [my return] was one of the keys today. I knew he was going to serve well, so I needed to return well to be in control of the match."
