World No 1 Novak Djokovic needed just 85 minutes to crush Canadian Vasek Pospisil 6-3 7-5 in the second round of the China Open and extend his tournament record to 21-0.
The Serb, bidding to win a fifth title in Beijing, broke the big-serving Pospisil four times and lost only six points on his first serve in a totally dominant display.
Djokovic has only lost three sets en route to winning four China Open titles in four years.
Although his wife is set to give birth to the couple's first child in about a month, Djokovic said he remains focused on his goal of finishing No 1 for the third time in the last four years.
He is planning to play a full tournament schedule as the season winds down, including the ATP Tour Finals in London in November.
"It's definitely always the highest priority out there with winning Grand Slams," Djokovic said. "That gives me plenty of motivation. It would mean, of course, a lot to me. That's why I'm out here in Beijing and (next week in) Shanghai, competing and trying to get that year-end No 1."
Rain washed out play on the outside courts, where seeds including Tomas Berdych and Grigor Dimitrov are scheduled to play.
Bulgarian Dimitrov will face Djokovic if he beats Spaniard Pablo Andujar in the second round.
