Novak Djokovic was in imperious form as he swept into the French Open quarterfinals for the 14th straight year on Sunday.
Third seed Djokovic, who is chasing a record 23rd men’s Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros, ended the surprise run of Peruvian outsider Juan Pablo Varillas in straight sets.
Djokovic, a two-time champion in Paris, won 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 against the 94th-ranked Varillas to book a meeting with Russia’s Karen Khachanov, the 11th seed who overcame Lorenzo Sonego in four sets.

“I had never played my opponent before. I knew he was a clay court specialist and that I had to earn the victory. It was the best I played this week,” said Djokovic.
