Melbourne: Novak Djokovic embarked on his latest quest to win a record 25th Grand Slam by easing to an ominous straight-sets victory Monday at the Australian Open.
The Serb dismissed Spain's Pedro Martinez 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in two hours and meets Italian qualifier Francesco Maestrelli in the second round.
It was his landmark 100th Australian Open victory.
"Great to be back once again, definitely my favourite court," the smiling 38-year-old told Rod Laver Arena.
"Centurion is pretty nice. I always give my best on the court, history-making is a great motivation."
