Djokovic reaches record 17th French Open quarter-final with clinical winEleanor Crooks, PA Tennis Correspondent, ParisNovak Djokovic surpassed Rafael Nadal’s all-time record by reaching his 17th French Open quarter-final. “Obviously the performance of today gives me a great deal of confidence about how I felt, about how I played. The third seed had been pushed extremely hard by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in his previous match and struggled physically, so this was a very welcome easy afternoon. There were plenty of cheers at the end, though, as Djokovic wrapped up the victory after an hour and 57 minutes. Ultimately it was a straightforward win, though, as world number one Alcaraz, who missed the Australian Open through injury, stayed on track for a second successive grand slam title.
