Novak Djokovic ties Nadal, Federer mark at French Open with easy win in third round
AP
Novak Djokovic tied a record shared by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal by getting to the fourth round of the French Open for the 11th consecutive appearance.
Djokovic has not had too much trouble, either: His 6-0 6-3 6-2 victory over Daniel Elahi Galan means the No.1 seed has dropped merely five games in each of his three matches so far.
The match was played in a light rain in the first set, and the shower grew stronger later, so the roof was shut.

Djokovic was never really tested by Galan and improved to 34-1 in 2020.
Next up for Djokovic as he pursues a second French Open title and 18th Grand Slam trophy overall: No. 15 seed Karen Khachanov.
