Novak Djokovic in command in comprehensive French Open win over Karan Khachanov

World No 1 Novak Djokovic continued his serene progress through the French Open field with a comprehensive win over Karan Khachanov.

Novak Djokovic has yet to drop a set at this year's French Open.

The Serb, chasing his second Roland Garros title, beat the Russian 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to book another grand slam quarter-final.

Djokovic has yet to drop a set in his opening four games and will now meet Pablo Carreno Busta or Daniel Altmaier in the next round.

Earlier, No 5-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas and No 13-seeded Andrey Rublev reached the last eight at Roland Garros for the first time.

Tsitsipas won against No 18-seeded Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-2, and Rublev beat unseeded Marton Fucsovics 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (3).

Tsitsipas has some treatment for an irritation to his eye at the start of the second set and saved two set points in the tiebreaker.

"I feel irritation in my eye and it happened in my previous matches as well. It's still a bit irritated, I think it's red," Tsitsipas said. "The tiebreak was very tense, the tiebreak was where all the money was. I showed lots of discipline."

Rublev saved three set points serving at 5-4 down and 0-40 in the fourth set, then won on his second match point when Fucsovics put a forehand into the net.

Serving at 3-2 up and deuce in the first set, Fucsovics was unhappy with a line call given against him. He insisted the chair umpire look from a different angle.

"Come here and check from here, please," Fucsovics said. "It's your mistake, man. It's your mistake, OK?"

The umpire checked, and still upheld the line call.
