The Serb was sloppy in the first set but ran riot for the rest of the game

Novak Djokovic defeated Marton Fucsovic in straight sets 7-6 (7-2), 6-0, 6-3 to qualify for the third round of the French Open on Wednesday night.

The World No.3 wasn’t prolific in the beginning of the match as he had to work really hard to claim the first set in a tie-break.

However, from then on Djokovic rediscovered his well known ruthless form to trash his Hungarian opponent in the 2nd set by 6-0.

Not much changed in the final set as the Serb kept his high tempo and despite missing out on the chance to clinch the game at 5-2 on his own serve, he eventually wrapped it up in the next game with a break.

The 36-year-old will meet Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, a much tougher opponent as he is one of the seeded players. However, Djokovic still remains firm favorite for a win.
