PARIS—World number one Novak Djokovic put on a clinical display to stroll past Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas 6–3 6–2 6–4 on Thursday and reach the third round of the French Open.
Cuevas, ranked 92nd, showed flashes of resistance against the 34-year-old Serbian but the top seed raised his game when he needed to and produced some sublime winners off his backhand to keep alive his chase for a 19th Grand Slam title.
