Djokovic starts Rome Masters campaign in style
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}ROME (Reuters) - World number two Novak Djokovic made a stylish start to his Rome Masters campaign, blowing away Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-1 6-1 in just under an hour to reach the third round on Tuesday.
The Serb, the 2008 Rome champion, gave Chardy a torrid time on his serve and produced some stunning cross-court winners in a performance that should raise his morale after a low-key start to the season.
World number one Roger Federer, who had a bye to the second round along with the other top seeds, meets Latvian Ernests Gulbis later on Tuesday in his singles debut on clay this season.
