Novak Djokovic surpassed Rafael Nadal’s all-time record by reaching his 17th French Open quarter-final. The 22-time grand slam champion defeated Juan Pablo Varillas 6-3 6-2 6-2 to maintain his run of not having lost before the last eight at Roland Garros since 2010 and set up a clash with 11th seed Karen Khachanov.
