PARIS: World number six Alexander Zverev's French Open campaign gained momentum as the German dispatched Serbia's Laslo Djere 6-2 7-5 6-2 to reach the fourth round on Friday.
Zverev, who won the clay court title in Madrid and lost to Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals in Rome in the lead-up to Roland Garros, had too much for his 55th-ranked opponent as he set up a clash with Japan's Kei Nishikori. He has never been further than the quarter-finals here but his part of the draw seems clear until the last four, where he could face fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, with the 'Big Three' - Roger Federer, Nadal and Novak Djokovic - in the other half.More Related News
