Zverev qualifies with ease

Alexander Zverev continues his perfect record in Paris.

Reigning Olympic champion, the German passed his first test of the week with flying colors.

Faced with Czech nugget Tomas Machac, the world number 4 managed the important points perfectly, winning in two sets and just 1h34 of play (6-3, 7-5).

Although he didn't play his best tennis, he largely secured the essential points, particularly in the second set, when Machac was more pressing.

For a place in the quarter-finals, he will face Alexei Popyrin, who defeated Stan Wawrinka (6-4, 7-5).
