Novak Djokovic is safely through to the third round in Monte Carlo

World number one Novak Djokovic made short work of Italy's Andreas Seppi to book his place in the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters. 

The Serbian raced to a 6-1 6-4 win in one hour 28 minutes to set up a meeting with Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov. 

Djokovic saved three break points in the first set, breaking twice himself, before a single break in the second earned him victory. 

Djokovic's countryman Janko Tipsarevic, the seventh seed, was also a comfortable second-round winner, seeing off Spain's Albert Montanes 6-2 6-3.
