Italian qualifier Salvatore Caruso put together a memorable run by reaching the third round at Roland Garros on his debut at the clay-court Grand Slam. But the 26-year-old faced one big problem: he had to face World No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
The top-seeded Serbian played solid tennis to oust Caruso 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 after two hours and four minutes, advancing to the fourth round at Roland Garros for the 10th consecutive year and the 13th time overall. Djokovic continues his pursuit of a second ‘Nole Slam’, as he tries to win his fourth consecutive Grand Slam title.
The 32-year-old is now 19-for-19 against qualifiers at the majors, and 8-for-8 at Roland Garros. Djokovic will try to reach his 10th straight quarter-final on the Parisian terre battue when he faces No. 13 seed Borna Coric or powerful German Jan-Lennard Struff.
