Dominant Djokovic keeps tallying records
The three-time Roland-Garros champion advances to meet Joao Fonseca or Dino Prizmic.
The Serbian continued his campaign to become the only player to lift 25 Grand Slam singles titles with a hard-fought 6-3, 6-2, 6-7(7), 6-3 win over French youngster Valentin Royer on Wednesday.
In so doing, Djokovic rubber-stamped his record 21st consecutive Roland-Garros third-round showing. On top of that, the 39-year-old is the first man ever to play 120 matches at a sole Grand Slam event, eclipsing Roger Federer’s Wimbledon tally of 119.
"I’m relieved. Obviously, it feels different when you win the match. It’s a very important victory in difficult conditions for both players. It was very hot and I think Valentin deserves big credit for his performance today," said Djokovic, shortly after converting his fourth match point.
