Djokovic advances to third round in Rome Masters

Novak Djokovic was back on top form as he brushed aside rising Australian talent Bernard Tomic 6-3 6-3 to reach the third round of the Rome Masters yesterday.

While Andy Murray narrowly avoided defeat on his 25th birthday and there were struggles for Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova in the women's event, Djokovic looked every inch the world No 1 on his way to a confident victory, taking just 69 minutes to see off Tomic and erase the memories of his quarter-final defeat.
