At 38, Djokovic is pursuing a record-extending 25th Grand Slam crown. He has yet to lose a set in the French Open this year. His next bet will be Britain’s Cameron Norrie, who advanced to the fourth round for the first time after beating fellow Brit Jacob Fearnley.

Djokovic enjoys an immaculate head-to-head with Norrie, with five consecutive wins in their prior encounters, including their last encounter in the Geneva Open a week ago.

Before arriving in Paris, Djokovic’s form had dipped slightly, following early losses in Monte Carlo and Madrid. But he recovered by winning the ATP 250 title in Geneva, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the final to win his 100th tour-level title, quashing doubts leading into the Grand Slam.

Thus far at Roland Garros, the sixth-ranked player in the world has eased past Mackenzie McDonald and Corentin Moutet in the first and second rounds.
