Novak Djokovic swept aside Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in the French Open fourth round to claim his 100th career victory at Roland Garros.
The 38-year-old became the oldest player to reach the quarter-finals in the men's draw for half a century.
Djokovic improved to 100-16 at the French Open, a milestone surpassed among men only by Rafael Nadal, who finished with a 112-4 record.
The three-time Roland Garros champion has not dropped a set on his way to the quarter-finals this year.

Speaking on court after the win, Djokovic remained focused: "It's a good number, but victory 101 would be better."
Djokovic is the only player in tennis history to have 90+ wins at every Slam - no other player has 75 wins in all of them.
During the match, Norrie needed a medical timeout in the second set for a foot problem that affected his movement.

This marked Norrie's sixth consecutive defeat against Djokovic, having previously lost to him in the 2022 Wimbledon semi-final where he managed to claim at least one set.
