Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner continued their winning streak as they qualified for the last 16 of the French Open.
According to Bangkok Post, world No. 1 and Serbian tennis star, claimed a straight-set win in the third round at Roland-Garros to continue their campaign for the key titles.
Djokovic is aiming to win his 25th Grand Slam title while Sinner is eyeing his debut French Open title to bring his Grand Slam tally to four.
The Paris Olympic gold medallist passed Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier in an over two-hour battle.
The 38-year-old, after winning the match, said, "I don't know if it was good for me to get this scheduled slot because it was interesting; the crowd was really following the (football) game.”
“And I could hear once they (PSG) scored, and it was way too many times that they were celebrating. I was like, 'Wow, there's a lot of goals from Paris' and 'What's going on?'. So now I heard it's 5-0, so it's quite a result, to be honest,” he added.
Sinner beat Jiri Lehecka in the French Open third round
Italian tennis player claimed a 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 victory against world number 34 Jiri Lehecka.
The 23-year-old expressed, “I think in the early stages of Grand Slams it's good that you don't spend so much time, if you have the chance, on court. I don’t think there is much I could improve.”
Djokovic will face British No. 81 Cameron Norrie, while Sinner will clash with Russian player Andrey Rublev in the next round of the French Open on Monday.
