The Serbian showed his class as he glided past Spain’s Roberto Carballes Baena 6-3 6-4 6-0. Djokovic rattled off the third set for the loss of four points to seal an 83rd win at the tournament. Under the Rod Laver roof, second seed Ons Jabeur was given a scare by Tamara Zidansek before winning 7-6(8) 4-6 6-1. Top 10 seeds Andrey Rublev and Taylor Fritz eased into the second round earlier on Tuesday with Russian Rublev beating Dominic Thiem of Austria 6-3 6-4 6-2. Fourth seed Garcia, who won the WTA Finals last season, was equally convincing with a 6-3 6-0 win over Canadian qualifier Katherine Sebov.
