PARIS - Novak Djokovic demolished Colombian lucky loser Daniel Galan to reach the Roland Garros last 16 for an 11th successive year today.
World No 1 Djokovic swept past 153rd-ranked Galan 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 with his most challenging moment coming when he helped ground staff lay more clay on the surface of Court Philippe Chatrier after rain had made it treacherous.
For Djokovic, the 2016 French Open champion who is chasing an 18th Grand Slam title, it was his 71st win in Paris.
Djokovic took his 2020 record to 34 wins against just one loss as he continues his bid to become the first man in half a century to win all four Grand Slam titles twice.
