French Open 2020: Novak Djokovic eases through; Daniel Altmaier stuns Matteo Berrettini

World number one Novak Djokovic put in another assured performance to beat Daniel Elahi Galan and reach the French Open fourth round.

The 33-year-old Serb, bidding for his 18th Grand Slam title, beat the Colombian qualifier 6-0 6-3 6-2.

Djokovic, who took the first set in 25 minutes, has lost just 15 games in his opening three matches.

He will face 15th seed Karen Khachanov of Russia for a place in the quarter-finals in Paris.

“I felt I played OK. Played some fine shots, played OK at the baseline,” said Djokovic.

It is the 11th consecutive year that he has reached the last 16 at Roland Garros.

Aiming for a second French Open title, Djokovic barely looked troubled against the world number 153.

Galan got the biggest cheer of the day when he finally got on the board after losing the first eight games. (BBC)
