PARIS: World number one Novak Djokovic reserved his place in the next week of their French Open with an dominant 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 third-round triumph over 93rd-ranked Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis on Saturday.
Even the 34-year-old Serbian came to the game with a 3-0 head-to-head listing against Berankis, that had never won a place in their prior encounters, and place into a clinical series on Philippe Chatrier court to keep on track to get a 19th Grand Slam title.
Djokovic struck his opponent’s serve six times in the game and this was his domination which he didn’t face one breakpoint by himself on the road into the fourth round at Roland Garros for the 12th successive year.
The 2016 winner, who struck 30 winners from 18 unforced mistakes, is to get rid of a set in his three games and will face adolescent Lorenzo Musetti, that defeated fellow German Marco Cecchinato 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
