BASEL, Switzerland(AP) Novak Djokovic recorded his first 6-0, 6-0 win at an elite event Thursday, shutting out Jan Hernych at the Swiss Indoors.
The third-ranked Serb needed just 53 minutes to beat his 59th-ranked Czech opponent in their second-round match.
To win against somebody double bagel, an opponent has to play really, really bad,'' Djokovic said.He didn't put a lot of effort in.''
The 30-year-old Henrych did create three break points in the first set, but Djokovic saved them and then won all eight points on Henrych's second-serve in the opening set.
``It's funny at the end with the crowd wanting him to win a game. It's easy to understand that,'' Djokovic said.
Djokovic will play sixth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka or Jarkko Nieminen, who played later Thursday.
In other second-round action, Evgeny Korolev beat Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 7-6 (1), and Marco Chiudinelli edged Michael Lammer 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in an all-Swiss match.
Korolev will play top-seeded Roger Federer in Friday's quarterfinals and Chiudinelli will meet John Isner of the United States or Richard Gasquet of France.
