For the 11th time in a row, Novak Djokovic will be in the quarterfinals of the Roland Garros.
The 15th-ranked player in the Karen Khachanov tournament was supposed to put Nola to the first serious test in Paris tonight (Monday), but like his predecessors, the Russian also gave up the top-ranked in three sets, 4: 6, 3: 6, 3: 6.
In the next round, the Serb will meet the winner of the match between Daniel Altmeier and Pablo Carneio Busta.
For fifth-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, a three-set victory over Gregor Dimitrov secured him a ticket to the quarter-finals for the first time in his career.
There the Greek will meet the Russian Andrei Rublev (13).
In the women's, Petra Kabitova continues to look great when even against Chinese Zhang Shui she has yet to lose a match in the tournament.
A 2: 6, 4: 6 victory sent the Czech to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2012, where she will face Germany’s Lara Sigmund.
