French Open: Novak Djokovic defeated Ricardas Berankis to keep his bid intact to be the first man in more than half a century to win all four majors on multiple occasions.
Novak Djokovic moved effortlessly into the French Open fourth round for the 12th successive year on Saturday, setting up an intriguing duel against Italian teenager Lorenzo Musetti as Elina Svitolina crashed out, leaving just three of the women's top 10 seeds in the tournament. World number one Djokovic, the champion in Paris in 2016 and chasing a 19th Grand Slam title, brushed aside 93rd-ranked Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 6-1, 6-4, 6-1. "If you look at it, it may seem like an easy win but that's not the case," said Djokovic. "The conditions were different, the bounce was lower so you have to adapt but that's part of the job." Djokovic is bidding to be the first man in more than half a century to win all four majors on multiple occasions. Next up for the Serb is 19-year-old Musetti after the 76th-ranked Italian fired 50 winners past compatriot Marco Cecchinato in a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory.More Related News
