Nov 5, 2009, 16:24 GMT

Basle, Switzerland - Second seed Novak Djokovic made quick work of Jan Henrych as he smothered the Czech 6-0, 6-0 at the Swiss Indoors the first 'double bagel' of his career at the elite level Thursday. The Serb was unstoppable in 52 minutes as the journeyman donated 40 unforced errors in the 53-minute hammering. The last time Djokov flirted with perfection was summer of 2008 in a 6-1, 6-0 thrashing of David Nalbandian with the loss of just one game. He also beat Andy Murray by that score in 2007 in Miami. Djokovic, who broke six times, saved three break points in the first set prior to completing his rout of the number 59. The 68-18 player for 2009 next plays either Swiss sixth seed Stan Wawrinks of Finn Jarkko Nieminen. Roger Federer now has a quarter-final opponent for Friday after Russian Evgeny Korolev won through over Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), just a day after the Frenchman beat seventh seed James Blake with 24 aces. Marco Chiudinelli maintained his autumn run of form, reaching his second quarter-final after Bali in October with a defeat of Swiss compatriot Michael Lammer 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. Chiudinelli, 9-11 in 2009, next plays either Richard Gasquet or American John Isner.
