Italian Open: Djokovic sails past wildcard Caruso in Rome

The Hindu  

World number one Novak Djokovic turned the page on his contentious US Open exit and began his claycourt season with a convincing 6-3 6-2 victory over wildcard Salvatore Caruso in the second round of the Italian Open on Wednesday. Four-time Rome Masters champion Djokovic, who received an opening-round bye, broke Caruso's serve in the eighth game before serving out the opening set. READ | Caruso, who battled past American Tennys Sandgren in the opening round for his first ATP Masters 1000 match win, dropped his serve in a see-saw third game of the second set which lasted nearly 12 minutes. “It's a demanding surface where you have to be patient and construct your points.” Djokovic will face either fellow Serb Filip Krajinovic or Italian Marco Cecchinato for a place in the last-16.
