It was an excellent performance from the 10-time Grand Slam champion, who needed just one hour and 55 minutes to oust the Korean.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic, who recorded his first-career victory against Chung, blasted 40 winners and won 89 percent of his first serve points. What proved to be the difference in the match, though, was his return. Djokovic won 46 percent of his receiving points against the 19-year-old, with the world No. 1 converting five of his seven break point opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for Djokovic is a second-round clash with unseeded Quentin Halys. This will be the first meeting between Djokovic and Halys in the ATP Tour. For Djokovic to beat Halys, he needs to continue his excellent net play. Djokovic won all 15 of his net points in the victory over Chung.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic is 9-1 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet online sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the exciting tennis action.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Quentin Halys<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Quentin+Halys+2016+Australian+Open+Day+1+lfPINw7FKYPl.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91635\" title=\"Novak-Djokovic-vs-Quentin-Halys-Preview\u20132016-Australian-Open\" alt=\"Novak Djokovic vs Quentin Halys Preview \u2013 2016 Australian Open\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Quentin+Halys+2016+Australian+Open+Day+1+lfPINw7FKYPl.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Quentin+Halys+2016+Australian+Open+Day+1+lfPINw7FKYPl.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Quentin+Halys+2016+Australian+Open+Day+1+lfPINw7FKYPl-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Quentin Halys booked a place in the second round of the 2016 Australian Open with a thrilling 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5 win over Ivan Dodig on Monday. It was a brilliant showing from Halys, who needed three hours and 21 minutes to outlast the gutsy Croatian veteran.<\/p>\n<p>With the victory, Halys is through to the second round of the Australian Open for the first time in his career. However, he will face his toughest test to date when he faces off against Novak Djokovic in the round of 64. The Serbian star has been on a tear here in the Australian Open, winning four of the last five Grand Slam tournaments staged Down Under.<\/p>\n<p>For Halys to record a major shock in the next round, the Frenchman needs to dominate with his service game. Halys\u2019 serve was solid against Dodig, as he converted 59 percent of his first serves. Halys took full advantage of that fact, winning 63 of his 89 first serve points for a solid 71 percent clip.<\/p>\n<p>Halys also needs to limit his miscues if he is to upset the mighty Djokovic. He committed a whopping 48 unforced errors in the four-set win against Dodig. That simply won\u2019t do against a world-class player like Djokovic, who is gunning for his 11<sup>th<\/sup> Grand Slam title here in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>Halys is 6-4 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Djokovic beats Halys in straight sets.<\/p>\n[sc:AUS15-620 ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"91623\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,375&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic\u2019s quest for a record sixth Australian Open title is still very much alive after defeating Hyeon Chung in the first round on Monday.
