The 25-year-old Djokovic dismissed Italy's Paolo Lorenzi 6-1, 6-0, 6-1 in the first round and seemed very confident after his victory Tuesday.

"I tried to analyze my game," Djokovic said to the Associated Press, "and my game was great from the start to the end."

The entire match lasted 73 minutes, and Djokovic won 79 of 114 points.

Dutra Silva, playing in the second U.S. Open of his career, advanced to the second round after defeating Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili in a five-set marathon. He dropped the first set 6-4, and then lost the third set tiebreaker 7-5, only to capture the last two sets 6-3, 7-5.
