World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was in sublime form on Thursday, beating Pablo Cuevas in straight sets to book his place in the third round at Roland Garros. Djokovic never took his foot off the gas and struck 31 winners in a match that many believe is a sign the Serb is rounding into form at the right time.Speaking to the media after the encounter, Novak Djokovic claimed he was happy with the level he has showcased in the tournament thus far. The Serb also admitted that Cuevas was a tough customer given his claycourt pedigree."I am pleased with my performance in the first two rounds," Djokovic said. "Cuevas is tough to handle in these conditions, bouncy, he is a clay-court specialist. Hopefully, I can go deep in the tournament, I am feeling well."Djokovic: I am pleased with my performance in first two rounds.
