The top seeded Nole completes yet another straight set win at Roland Garros, defeating Salvatore Caruso in the round of 32. He wins their match with ease, going 6-3 6-3 6-2.

Djokovic must be considered a heavy favorite against Struff. Looking at their career head to head matchup, the world number one is undefeated versus his challenger.

They don’t have an extensive history against one another though… Djokovic is 1-0 over Struff, defeating him back in 2017 during the Doha round of 32.

We don’t have a lot to go on in terms of their history. All we can look at is how each player is faring so far at the French Open. Struff is holding his own. He finds himself in the fourth round of any Grand Slam for the first time in his career. That’s what makes this interesting.

Djokovic is on top of the tennis world currently. He has won all three of the last three major tournaments and is looking to make Roland Garros four in a row. Of course, there is also two-time defending champion and 11-time champ Rafael Nadal still in action.
