Third seed Carlos Alcaraz brushed aside Yoshihito Nishioka 6-0 6-1 6-4 in 81 minutes to march into the third round.
Alcaraz got off to a blistering start and never looked back, winning the first nine games before Nishioka could even get on the board.
“I’m really happy with the serve today,” said Alcaraz, who wrote “Am I a serve bot?” on the camera lens.
“This is something that I worked on in the pre-season. In the first round I struggled a little bit, so I wasn’t too happy with the serve.
“Yesterday I was more focused on practising the serve. I spent more time just serving with Juan Carlos [Ferrero], with my team, and it’s something that I really want to be better. So I’m just glad that today it worked pretty well. Hopefully in the next round it is going to be better.”
Alcaraz will next meet Portugal’s Nuno Borges, who upset 27th seed Jordan Thompson 6-3 6-2 6-4.
The Spaniard is bidding to become the youngest man in history to complete the career Grand Slam this fortnight.
