Alexander Zverev booked his place in the third round of the French Open with a routine straight-set victory over Belgium’s David Goffin.
The German sixth seed continued to underline his title credentials with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-2 win.
Zverev has reached the semi-finals in his last three appearances at Roland Garros and is considered a favourite this year after winning the Italian Open earlier this month.
He will face Dutch 26th seed Tallon Griekspoor next.
After criticising the crowds earlier in the week, Goffin received a warmer reception on Court Suzanne Lenglen on Thursday.
But the world number 115, after offering Zverev just one break point opportunity in the first set, faltered in the opening set tie-break.
Zverev seized control from there, breaking early and again at 4-2 in the second set, while he earned successive breaks in the third before serving out the victory.
The 27-year-old has insisted a court case over domestic abuse allegations will not distract his title bid at the French Open.
