PARIS: World No 2 Jannik Sinner eased into the French Open third round on Wednesday with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 win over 37-year-old Richard Gasquet.
Australian Open champion Sinner has now made the last 32 in Paris for the fourth time as he chases a second Grand Slam title and even the world No 1 spot.
The Italian, who was only nine months old when Gasquet made his French Open debut in 2002, will face either 2015 Roland Garros champion Stan Wawrinka or Pavel Kotov for a place in the last 16.
