The first set was the quickest, with Djokovic winning the first five games before taking it 6-1.

In the second the Serb broke to go 6-5 in front before Kohlschreiber wasted his only break point of the match that would have taken it to a tie-break.

Djokovic, who has been a finalist at Flushing Meadows for four straight years, then broke right at the start of the third, going on to close out the match 6-4.

The 2011 champion will next play the winner of the match currently taking place between Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
