It was the World No. 2's 43rd consecutive win, he is 46-0 if you count the Hopman Cup, and he remains 41-0 in 2011 .Novak Djokovic moves on to the quarterfinals at Roland Garros after taking out Frenchman Richard Gasquetin three sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
The commentators didn't seem to even give Richard Gasquet a chance against the Serbian and pointed out the last time Djokovic was defeated was by Roger Federer in the ATP World Tour Finals in London in 2010. Djokovic won 90% of points on his first serve with zero double faults and eight aces.
Djokovic will face Fabio Fognini next in his fifth French Open quarterfinal. He is 2-1 against Fognini. Fognini edged Djokovic in the Rome qualifiers round in 2006.
Djokovic made some comments about the elusive and new Babolat balls, "The balls are different and it is a bit frustrating that we didn't have these balls prior to Roland Garros. I think that it's something that we have to try to plan in the future- to use the same tennis balls that we use in the whole clay court season especially before the Grand Slam. But that's the way it is and it's the same conditions for everybody. I've been playing good enough with these balls to be happy with my game."
