Novak Djokovic advanced into the second round of the Australian Open on Tuesday with a straight sets 6-3 6-2 6-2 victory.
He beat American qualifier Mitchell Krueger on Rod Laver Arena in just over two hours.
The number one seed now faces Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, whom he defeated in the 2008 final for his first Grand Slam title.
“I have a tremendous respect for Jo … We played here in our first Grand Slam final back in 2008, 11 years ago and we’re going to face each other again hopefully on this court.
“I really, really look forward to it,” said the world number one
