Melbourne (Reuters) - Serbia's Novak Djokovic wasted little time in advancing to the fourth round of the Australian Open with a 6-1 6-1 6-2 demolition of Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin on Saturday. The world number three was only troubled briefly by a player ranked 100 places below him, although Istomin injected some humor into the match when he won his second game of the third set and celebrated wildly with a roar to the Hisense Arena crowd. Djokovic, however, was in no mood to delay his charge towards another victory and the 2008 champion won the next game to set up a fourth-round clash with Poland's Lukasz Kubot.
