After easing past Yoshihito Nishioka, Alex Molcan and Aljaz Bedene in his opening three rounds in Paris, Djokovic produced another convincing display to see off the threat of the 15th seed Schwartzman. The World No. 1 required five sets to overcome the Argentine in the pair’s previous meeting at Roland Garros in 2017, but his all-around level this time around was such that Schwartzman was unable to drag the top seed into another drawn-out battle.
The win means Djokovic is now 16-0 in fourth-round matches at the clay-court Grand Slam, and it moves the two-time champion into a 13th straight quarter-final in Paris. Daniil Medvedev, Nadal, Hubert Hurkacz, and Holger Rune are the other players left in the draw that are yet to drop a set at this year’s tournament.

Schwartzman had showcased his trademark resilience in coming back from two sets down to defeat Jaume Munar in the second round, but the Argentine was unable to exert enough consistent pressure on his opponent to threaten a similar feat against Djokovic.
The triumph improves Djokovic’s Head2Head series lead over Schwartzman to 7-0 and improves his match record at Roland Garros to 85-15. Only Nadal (108) has won more matches at the second major of the year.
