Second seed Novak Djokovic bounced back from a quarter-final exit at Roland Garros with a comprehensive 6-3, 6-3 win over Paolo Lorenzi of Italy in 73 minutes at the AEGON Championships on Wednesday.
Djokovic, the 2008 runner-up, who is making his third appearance at the ATP World Tour 250 grass-court tournament, saved all six break points he faced to improve to a 26-8 match record on the season. Lorenzi, 28, dropped to a 3-12 season mark.
American Sam Querrey, who admitted to being a little disillusioned after a first round exit to compatriot Robby Ginepri at Roland Garros, got immediate revenge mid-afternoon.
Querrey won 81 per cent of service points and hit 10 aces to beat compatriot Robby Ginepri 7-6(4), 6-2 in 63 minutes and later admitted, “I went home for six days and didn't pick up a racquet or anything. Now I'm feeling good. I had fun out there [and] I thought I played really well.
“I think I just kind of tapped out a little bit. I'm going to learn from that [and] try not to play the week before Grand Slams. I kind of know that after three weeks in a row or so, I've reached my max or my limit and I need to take a week off after that.”
He goes onto meet Spaniard Marcel Granollers, who ousted Marc Gicquel of France 6-1, 6-4 in one hour.
Fifth-seeded Croatian Marin Cilic posted his 30th match win of the 2010 season as he came back to defeat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-2.
The two players were facing off in the AEGON Championships second round for the second straight year. Mahut, who held championship point against Andy Roddick in the 2006 final, had prevailed against Cilic in two tie-breaks last year.
Cilic next faces a first career meeting with French No. 12 seed Michael Llodra, who made his way into the third round with a 6-4, 6-2 win over American Jesse Levine.
