World no.1 Novak Djokovic booked his place in the French Open quarter-finals on Sunday, breezing past Diego Schwartzman in straight sets.<\/p>\n

The top seed won 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 in two hours and 15 minutes to reach the last eight at Roland Garros<\/a> for the 16th time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have a lot of respect for him. He’s good guy on and off the court and he’s a claycourt specialist so it’s not easy especially in slow conditions today with a ball that was not bouncing high,<\/em>” Djokovic said after the victory.<\/p>\n

Novak eased through the first set with two breaks of serve. Schwartzman looked to have taken control in the second set, as he quickly gained 3-0 advantage. However, the 35-year-old Serbian star regained composure and broke his rival three times to grab the second set, winning six games in a row.<\/p>\n

The crucial break in the third set came in the sixth game. It was enough for Nole to claim the the seventh victory in as many meetings against the Argentine.<\/p>\n

Match statistics: aces (3-1), double faults (1-5), winners (28-23), unforced errors (31-45).<\/p>\n

For a spot in the last four, Novak will face no.5 seed and 13-time Roland Garros titlist Rafael Nadal (ESP, 30-28 H2H) on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nadal beat ninth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.<\/strong><\/p>\n
