Second seed Tipsarevic, the only survivor among the top four pre-tournament favorites, swept aside eighth seed Go Soeda of Japan 6-2, 6-4.
Tipsarevic, who lost last year’s Chennai final to Canada’s Milos Raonic, said he was satisfied with his match against Soeda.
“I think I served good and also returned well,” he said. “To lose just six games in the whole match means I played well, but one has to keep improving all the time and that is my aim.”
