World No.1 Novak Djokovic cruised through to the second round of the Australian Open after defeating Paul-Henri Mathieu in a straight set victory 6-2 6-4 7-5.
During his match Djokovic didn't drop serve once, he broke serve four times, his unforced error count was just 15, and he won over half of points contested from the baseline.
Djokovic took the first set in just 31 minutes, 33 minutes for the second and slightly longer 38 minutes to take the third set at Melbourne Park
"It was a good performance for a first round," Djokovic said. "I felt I was in control of the match in the opening two sets. Then, you know, he started playing better, striking the ball quite well from both sides on the baseline. I thought he was serving really precisely and really well.
"It was tough to break. But in the end, that 11th game, I made some good shots, good points, you know, managed to go through straight sets."
