French Open: Novak Djokovic Successfully makes it to Roland Garros Last 32

World No. 1 and tennis player Novak Djokovic continued his bid for a 19th Grand Slam title with a straight-sets victory over Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas to reach the third round of the French Open on Thursday. The 34-year-old, who wants to become the first man in more than 50 years to win all four slams multiple times, won 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on Court Suzanne Lenglen. “I play well, I feel great. I’m ready to dive deep into this tournament, ” the top seed said after winning his 350th Grand Slam match. “I hope that will be the case, but I will take match after match, and so far the two matches I have played have been played at a high quality.”

Djokovic will face Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis for a place in the second week.

The 2016 Roland Garros champion has won all three of his meetings with Berankis, including in last year’s second round in Paris.

Cuevas tested Djokovic at times on Thursday with his creative shot-making, but the Serbian star saved eight of nine break points and hit 31 winners in a solid display.

“I’m pleased with the performance today, particularly against I think a very good player, specialist on clay, someone I have never faced before, has got a lot of spin,” added Djokovic.

Djokovic is seeded to meet 13-time winner Rafael Nadal, who he lost to in the final last October, in the last four.
