Novak Djokovic won 14 of his last 17 games to defeat Roberto Carballes Baena in straight sets in their second-round match at the Roland Garros.

Djokovic had a vintage performance, breaking Carballes Baena’s serve five times in a row at one point on route to a 6-4 6-1 6-2 triumph.

However, the unseeded Spaniard forced Djokovic to work extremely hard in the first set, breaking him in the first game before responding in kind.

World No. 4 Alexander Zverev advanced to the third round on Thursday, defeating seasoned Belgian David Goffin 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-2.
