Former world number one Ana Ivanovic, however, became the second top 10 seed to suffer a shock early New York exit as stiff winds brought new challenges at Flushing Meadows where players have already been tackling plus-30 degree heat (+90F) in the first week. World number one and top seed Djokovic breezed past Frances Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-1, 6-3, 6-0, firing 13 aces and 33 winners as the 2011 champion comfortably remained in course for a fifth successive final appearance. Its very windy, but I managed to adjust to the conditions that obviously are not easy for myself and my opponent, said Djokovic, who next meets Sam Querrey of the United States, after his brief 90-minute appearance.
