NOVAK DJOKOVIC produced a clinical display to beat Flavio Cobolli in the third round of the Shanghai Masters today.

The four-time champion needed only 64 minutes to dispatch Italian Cobolli 6-1 6-2 and set up a fourth-round meeting with Russia’s Roman Safiullin.

Djokovic, playing his first ATP Tour event since the US Open, had looked a little rusty in his first match against Alex Michelsen but was sharp from the start here and cruised through.
