Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic successfully cleared the first hurdle at this year's Australian Open.

Today, Djokovic eliminated American Nišes Basavaredi in four sets - 4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 6:2.

Djokovic had three break chances in the first set, none of which he used, while the young American made a break in the seventh game, which was enough for him to win the first set.

The Serbian tennis player also missed two break points at the start of the second set, and then in the eighth game he finally broke and equalized in sets.

Then Basavaredi started complaining of cramps, in the break between the second and third sets he asked for medical help, so it was clear that Djokovic would reach the second round without any major problems.

One break was enough for Djokovic in the third set, while in the fourth he took away his rival's serve twice and advanced to the next round.

Đoković will play against Žaime Fari in the second round.
