(Reuters) - Top seed Novak Djokovic cruised through his opening match at the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday while Stan Wawrinka had to come from behind to get by Croatian teenager Borna Coric and secure his spot in the third round.
Djokovic breezed by Frenchman Benoit Paire 7-5 6-2 to set up a third-round clash with Belgian 13th seed David Goffin but it was a different story for French Open champion Wawrinka who had to dig deep before prevailing 3-6 7-6 (3) 6-3.
Coric claimed the opening set, cashing in on both of his break point chances but stumbled in the second set tiebreak with his first double fault of the match to give the French Open champion three set points.
