Champion Novak Djokovic eased into the third round of the Australian Open with a 7-5 6-1 6-3 demolition of France's Jeremy Chardy.
The 21-year-old Serb struggled initially against Chardy in an even first set, breaking just once in the 12th game, before he romped away with the second and third.
After failing to send the opener to a tiebreak, Chardy's game felt apart in the second set and the Frenchman managed to win just seven points, two of which were on Djokovic's serve.
The world number three continued his domination in the deciding set, romping to a 4-0 lead before his 21-year-old opponent got on the scoreboard.
Chardy briefly raised hopes of a recovery by breaking Djokovic when he was serving for the match, but he was unable to stop the third seed's march into the next round.
