Federer and Djokovic progresss comfortably to third round of Australian Open

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic both enjoyed comfortable wins to reach the third round of the Australian Tennis Open.

Federer beat world number 41 Filip Krajinovic of Serbia 6-1 6-4 6-1 to maintain his bid to match Djokovic's seven Australian Open titles.

Djokovic, the defending champion, dismissed Japanese wildcard Tatsuma Ito 6-1 6-4 6-2 in 95 minutes.

The 32-year-old Serb, chasing a 17th Grand Slam title, faces Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams says she was frustrated by her own form as she overcame Slovenian Tamara Zidansek with a patchy performance to reach the third round.

The 38-year-old American, bidding for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title, won 6-2 6-3 in 78 minutes.
