The second-seeded Serbian star defeated Sousa 6-1, 6- 4, 6-3 in 2 hours and 7 minutes here on Wednesday evening.

"Generally I feel better than the first round, so that's exactly what I wanted," the world No. 2 said after the game.

On Friday, Djokovic will play against Argentine Diego Schwartzman for a place in the last 16.

Schwartzman, world No. 41, also defeated on Wednesday Italian Stefano Napolitano 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.
