Djokovic faced some resistance whilst serving for the match, double-faulting twice and showing irritation at crowd interruptions.
He eventually sealed victory with his first match point, finishing with a backhand down the line that proved too powerful for Kecmanovic to handle.
Following his victory, Djokovic reflected on the challenge of facing a friend and Davis Cup teammate.
"It's never easy playing a friend and compatriot," he said. "More than rivals and competitors, we're friends and teammates. I wish him all the very best."
