The Serb, whose impressions of his fellow players have become famous, partly thanks to the video-sharing Web site YouTube, said the format of the event offered a special attraction for the men.

"It's always a good experience to play with a female," joked Djokovic, who is representing Serbia with women's world number three Jelena Jankovic [ Images ].

"You can kiss in the end, you can kiss in the start. While you're serving, she's bending over at the net. I think some of the guys here (in the crowd) will understand."

Djokovic had struggled to victory against Lu Yen-hsun in Serbia's win over Taiwan on Sunday.

But the 20-year-old, who will be one of the favourites for the title at the Australian Open, looked more his usual self on Wednesday as he beat Frenchman Arnaud Clement [ Images ] 6-3 6-3.

"I think I played better today than I did three days ago," Djokovic said.

"Obviously it was my first match of the season against Lu, who played a really good match, so I was struggling.

"Today I was performing really well. I was keeping my focus throughout the match, trying to be in control, which I did. Hopefully it's going to be even better in the next match.

"It was a pretty good match today but I think what decided our match today was my serve. I think it was like never before."
