Djokovic into ninth straight RG quarter-final
You have to go back to 2009 for the last time Novak Djokovic failed to reach the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros. The 2016 champion was made to work for his 6-3 6-4 6-2 victory over Fernando Verdasco, but is rounding into form at just the right time ahead of his last-eight showdown with Marco Cecchinato.
