Novak Djokovic on Thursday moved into the third round of the Australian Open — for the ninth consecutive year — with a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 win over Russian Andrey Kuznetsov.
Djokovic won the first set in 21 minutes and was rarely troubled against the 2009 junior Wimbledon champion. Kuznetsov broke the Serbian’s serve to take a 2-0 lead in the third set, but Djokovic broke straight back and won six of the next eight games to clinch the match.
Djokovic has four Australian Open titles — his first Grand Slam title came in 2008 and the next three in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
