Djokovic will next face Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who edged past eight seeded American John Isner 7-6(3), 6-3 earlier in the day.

“The key of the match was to return well, and I did it. I tried to return all the time to make him play,” said Gasquet. “Then I like to defend. But of course I had to do a big tie-break, and I did it. I played incredible in the tie-break and then I felt well.”
