World No.1 Novak Djokovic won his third-round clash against Ricardas Berankis at the French Open 2021. Playing against the Lithuanian player, Djoker dominated the entire match and crushed his opponent in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-1.
With his win over Berankis, Djokovic became the first player to reach the fourth round of the French Open 12 consecutive times. It is an accomplishment that even his arch-rivals, Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer, haven’t achieved in their careers so far.
Speaking about the record in a recent interview, Djokovic seemed really happy. However, he mentioned that his mission isn’t over in tennis yet and he wants to keep improving as a player.

Djokovic’s path at Roland Garros is not easy this year as even if defeats Musetti, he’ll most probably meet Federer in the quarters. Moreover, if he battles past the Swiss maestro, he’ll have to beat Rafa in the semis to move into the final.
