Novak Djokovic faces Swiss Marco Chiudinelli in the second round of Australian Open 2010 on Thursday still shaking off early season rust.

The Serbian took a bit of a thumping from Fernando Verdasco during the Kooyong Classic last week and later tried to brush it off, but it was hardly ideal preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year.

However, he did well to oust Spain’s Daniel Gimeno-Traver in straight sets in the first round in conditions were a little too slow for Djokovic’s liking, which showed at times when he found it hard to hit the speedy Gimeno-Traver off the court.

Djokovic, 11/2 to win the Men's singles in Melbourne and as short as 1/50 to advance to the third round, has a new coach in Todd Martin and is working hard on the offensive part of his game, taking the play to opponents and looking to get up the court and volley.

He seems much more relaxed than last year and could well slip under the radar for the next few rounds.

Swiss Marco Chiudinelli should not give the Serb too many problems. He is a workman-like player who has only just emerged from the challengers tour in the past twelve months.

This is the first time he has been past the first round in Melbourne and he is 11/1 to cause a shock upset today. That seems highly unlikely though and Djokovic can be backed at 3/10 to win in straight sets.
