Stefanos Tsitsipas cruised into the fourth round of the French Open with a dominant straight-sets victory over Zhang Zhizhen. The Greek star, seeded ninth, dictated play from the baseline throughout the match, hitting 30 winners and not facing a single break point on his serve.

Stef: “It’s all because of love. It is if you think about it. On both sides. It all has to do with love. Getting to combine love and tennis is quite exceptional. I have to say”
