Djokovic was at his clinically efficient best in the first
two sets as he looked to be tactically three shots ahead of
Halys and he opened up space on court at will while he romped to
a 2-0 lead inside an hour.
The 19-year-old wildcard, ranked 167th in the world, then fought
back in the third set, breaking the Serb for the first time and
putting him under pressure before Djokovic ran away with the
tie-break.
Djokovic, who is aiming for a record-equalling sixth Australian
Open title, will next face either Italy's Andreas Seppi or
American Denis Kudla in the third round.
