INDIAN WELLS, California, March 10 (Reuters) – World
\nnumber one Novak Djokovic eased into the third round of the
\nIndian Wells ATP tournament on Saturday while fourth-seeded Andy
\nMurray made a premature exit.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Djokovic, champion here in 2008 and last year, handed out a
\n6-3 6-2 thrashing to Kazakhstan qualifier Andrey Golubev,
\nbreaking his opponent’s serve twice in each set to triumph in
\none hour 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a good start,” the top-seeded Serb said in a
\ncourtside interview after sealing the win with a powerful first
\nserve that forced a wild backhand error by his 145th-ranked
\nopponent.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“We didn’t play a beautiful match and there were a lot of
\nunforced errors but look, it’s the opening match of the
\ntournament for me and I am still getting used to the conditions
\nand adjusting to the court.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hopefully the next match will be better,” added the Serb,
\nwho won his fifth grand slam crown at the Australian Open in
\nJanuary.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Djokovic, who beat Spaniard Rafa Nadal in last year’s final,
\nwill next face South African Kevin Anderson, who benefited from
\na walkover when Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew due to
\nan unspecified illness.
