Top seed Novak Djokovic booked his ticket to the third round of the WTA and ATP Italian Open on Thursday with a straight sets win over Canadian Denis Shapovalov.
The Serbian world number one -- the Madrid Open winner last weekend -- won the second round match 6-1, 6-3 in 66 minutes.
Djokovic, 31, a four-time Italian Open winner, next plays either German Philipp Kohlschreiber or Italy's Marco Cecchinato for a place in the quarter-finals.
