October 2, 2020

Novak Djokovic continues to prove he means business at the French Open, cruising into the third round in less than an hour and a half.

The men's World No.1  made light work of Lithuanian world number 66 Ricardas Berankis, winning in straight sets 6-1 6-2 6-2.

The Serbian has dropped just 10 games since the start of Roland Garros.

"I felt really good ... I hope I can carry on like this," he said after the match.

The top seed has tough competition for the title with Rafael Nadal seeking a record-extending 13th title.

US Open champion and two-time runner-up Dominic Thiem is also a contender.
