New York: World number one Novak Djokovic on Friday (local time) continued his dominant run in the ongoing US Open with a 6-3 6-3 6-1 win over Jan-Lennard Struff.
With this, Djokovic advanced to the fourth round of the US Open.
The German, who had won just one set in their five meets in an ATP event, was once again unable to disrupt Djokovic's flow in the third round of the grand slam event.
The only interesting event in the game came early on when Struff had break point opportunities. However, Struff was not able to convert it against Djokovic's serve in the first game.
After recording his 600th career win on hard courts, Djokovic, a three-time champion at Flushing Meadows, said, "It was a very, very good performance from my side."
"I managed to read his serve well. Made one necessary break in the first set, I faced one or two breakpoints in the opening game," the Serbian star added.
"Obviously the trajectory of the match can go differently if you lose your serve against a big guy like Struff, who serves really well and has a very aggressive, powerful game from the back of the court," said Djokovic, who is looking for an 18th Grand Slam title.
"But I moved well and after the first set, the second and third was a really great feeling on the court."
In the ongoing US Open, only Djokovic and Marin Cilic are the only players left with a Grand Slam title to their name in men's draw.
Djokovic holds a record 17 Grand Slam under his name and Cilic is a former US Open champion.
Djokovic will next take on 20th seed Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain on Sunday.
