( CNN ) -- Novak Djokovic has had plenty to say about the blue clay at the Madrid Masters and he was in no mood to change his mind after a minor scare on his first competitive outing on the new surface . The world No . 1 thought the players should have been consulted on Madrid 's decision to depart from the traditional red clay and the Serbian cut a frustrated figure as he beat Spanish qualifier Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6-2 3-6 6-2 . `` It 's impossible to move , '' he was quoted as telling reporters by AFP . `` I hit maybe five balls , the rest went just trying to put the ball into the court . `` I was relying on serve and getting free points from his unforced errors . That was not tennis , either I need football shoes or some advice on how to play on this court . `` I can not find the words to describe this court . It 's really tough to play like this on a center court . We need serious discussion about the future of this blue clay . `` We can not change anything this year , but my first impressions are not good . I do n't want to be the one complaining , but I say honestly what I feel . '' Djokovic 's victory was his first outing since he lost to Rafael Nadal in the Monte Carlo Masters and his win set up a third round clash with either Jurgen Melzer or Stanislas Wawrinka . No . 6 seed Tomas Berdych , from the Czech Republic , defeated South Africa 's Kevin Anderson 6-4 6-3 while Aregntina 's Juan Martin Del Potro , who won the Estoril Open last week , toppled Florian Mayer 6-4 6-2 . There were also victories for French trio Gilles Simon , Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet . In the women 's draw the top two seeds , Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova , both made it safely into round three . Azarenka , the world No . 1 , beat the Czech Republic 's Andrea Hlavackova 6-3 7-6 before having her say on the blue clay surface . `` The surface is a bit slippery , but it 's the same for all of us , '' the Belarusian told reporters . `` I do n't like to complain -- it is what it is and it wo n't change now . '' Sharapova , striving to complete a major slam with victory at the French Open later this month , also toppled a Czech opponent , Klara Zakopalova 6-4 6-3 . `` It 's not so much about the color , '' she told a press conference . `` It does look good on television . But it plays a bit different . `` It 's about the amount of clay on the court and the way it bounces . I got settled in so it 's just a matter of adjusting . It 's also the same for everyone . '' Serbian Ana Ivanovic , the No . 13 seed , also made it into round three after beating Nadia Petrova , from Russia , 7-5 6-1 .
