Four-time winner Novak Djokovic beats Aljaz Bedene in straight sets to advance through to the second round of the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic has booked his place in the Australian Open second round with a comfortable triumph over Aljaz Bedene.

The world number one, who is searching for his fifth title in Melbourne, started slowly before emerging as a 6-3 6-2 6-4 victor on the Rod Laver Arena.

Since the start of the year, Djokovic has been suffering with a virus and during the opening stages against Bedene, the 27-year-old struggled to find any sort of rhythm.

However, after breaking through in the seventh game of the set, it was one-way traffic for the Serbian who quickly raced into a commanding lead.

Bedene, who is hoping to switch allegiances from Slovenia to Great Britain later in 2015, improved during the third but a lapse in concentration midway through the set was enough to allow Djokovic the chance to coast through to victory.

Djokovic will now play either Andrey Kuznetsov or Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the last 64.
