Novak Djokovic is still to drop a set at the French Open after sweeping aside Italian qualifier Salvatore Caruso 6-3 6-3 6-2 to make the fourth round.
The Serb has never lost a Grand Slam match to a player ranked as low as world number 147 Caruso and breezed to victory in two hours and four minutes.
He is three wins away from the final and a possible meeting with 11-time champion Rafael Nadal.
Fifth seed Alexander Zverev withstood Dusan Lajovic’s fightback to advance.
The German, who lost to Austria’s Dominic Thiem in the last eight at Roland Garros last year, finally prevailed 6-4 6-2 4-6 1-6 6-2.
Serbian world number 35 Lajovic also took Zverev to five sets at Roland Garros last year.
Sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas also had to work hard, finally overcoming Filip Krajinovic 7-5 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (8-6) in a match played over two days after bad light stopped play on Friday. (BBC)
