Novak Djokovic makes history by reaching 10th straight French Open quarter-final Globe_Sports

His 6-3 6-2 6-2 victory means Djokovic is the first man to reach 10 successive quarter-finals at Roland Garros – a feat even clay-court king Rafael Nadal has not achieved.It will almost certainly get more difficult from hereon in as Djokovic tries to win his second French title and, for the second time in his career, hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time as he did by winning in Paris in 2016.

“I have played plenty of tight matches in my career that I can rely on that experience. I think it’s good to be tested but, at the same time, it’s also good to cruise along and kind of conserve the energy for what’s coming up.” Struff was bidding to reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final and provided some early resistance in drizzly conditions on Court Philippe Chatrier.

It was only a matter of time before Djokovic moved up a gear though, and in the seventh game he brought up two more break points with a stunning backhand passing shot.He duly converted with a smash after softening up Struff with a series of punishing groundstrokes into the corners.
