Paris, May 29 (IANS/EFE) World No. 1 Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic advanced on to the third round of the French Open after beating Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller 6-1 6-4 6-4 .
Djokovic, seeking to win his maiden Roland Garros title, took just one hour and 45 minutes to wrap up the match on Thursday.

Nole will be playing against Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, 19, who defeated compatriot Bernard Tomic 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 8-6 in a marathon match that lasted for three hours and 33 minutes.
