Novak Djokovic keeps on winning in Paris.
The world no.22 is still not at his best, but he is finding the grit and the game to beat his opponents. The former world no.1 defeated Roberto Bautista Agut in the French Open 3rd round after little roller coaster.

The match
Djokovic was cruising at the beginning of the match after he conquered a 6-4 3-0 lead. Then the Serbian legend had to face a strong comeback of Bautista Agut that managed to win the set after recovering the deficit and saving 3 set points (7-6).
The third set was a thriller with the Spaniard squandering 2 strong leads (3-1 and 5-3), but this time it was Djokovic to come back and win the set at the breaker. That was enough for the Spaniard to fold in the 4th set and Djokovic won the contest 6-4 6-7 (6) 7-6 (4) 6-2 in 3 hours and 48 minutes.
The good news is that I was not too tired. DJOKOVIC
Nole was particularly happy after this win to comment
“It was a great test. I had to earn my victory. The last set was actually the best set that I have played so far in the tournament. I don’t feel too exhausted. That’s the good news.”
Next vs. Verdasco
Djokovic will face Fernando Verdasco that has dismissed Grigor Dimitrov in 3 sets. The head to head is 10-4 for the former world no.1, but the Spaniard leads 3-2 on clay.
