Novak Djokovic is through to the last-16 of the Miami Open after defeating Belgium’s Steve Darcis 6-0 7-5.

The top seed romped through the opening set in just 26 minutes as Darcis struggled to keep pace with him.

The Serb did not face any break points and dropped only 14 of 45 points on his way to securing the set.

Set two was a different affair altogether though, as Darcis broke the world No 1 to take the advantage at 5-4.
