NEW YORK, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic overcame some minor early issues to cruise past Spain's Bernabe Zapata Miralles 6-4 6-1 6-1 in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, as he continues his hunt for a 24th Grand Slam title.
The Spaniard lost his resolve in the second set, where Djokovic broke in the third and fifth games.
Zapata Miralles helped him break again in the seventh game with a double fault and a clumsy error.
Djokovic saved four break points early in the final set, in which he won the final five games and closed out the match with a forehand winner.
