Japan’s Kei Nishikori made short work of home hope Gilles Simon as he cruised into the French Open fourth round for the fifth time on Friday. The 28-year-old, seeded 19 in his first Grand Slam since Wimbledon last year after struggling with injury, saw off Simon 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. Nishikori could next face a clash with two-time semi-finalist and seventh seed Dominic Thiem, who plays Italian Matteo Berrettini later in the third round.
