But it proved a one-sided contest at the Monte Carlo Country Club, with Djokovic sweeping into the next round in one hour and 34 minutes. Later Wednesday, Nadal took just 81 minutes to send world number 87 Delbonis packing, with Grigor Dimitrov waiting for him in the next round. The world number three was forced to skip a number of scheduled tournaments since Australia with a lingering back problem. But in his first match since defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open quarter-finals, Nadal struck 16 winners to beat Argentina's Delbonis.
