Federer, Ivanovic into French Open fourth round

Second seed Roger Federer reached the French Open fourth round for the 11th year in a row with a 6-4 6-3 6-2 win over Damir Dzumhur in Paris.
The Swiss, who won the French Open in 2009, will play either Gael Monfils of France or Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay for a place in the quarter-finals.
Former champion Ana Ivanovic breezed into the last 16 with a 53-minute 6-0 6-3 victory over Croatia’s Donna Vekic.
Defending champion Maria Sharapova faces Australia’s Sam Stosur later.
French number one Alize Cornet fought back to beat Croatia’s Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 4-6 6-3 7-5.
Ivanovic was the first player of the day back to the locker room, breaking Vekic’s serve five times on the way to victory.
The 27-year-old, who also reached the French Open final in 2007, was cheered on by boyfriend and Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
When asked about World Cup winner Schweinsteiger’s support afterwards, Ivanovic played the straightest of bats.
“It’s great having a great team around you and positive people and the support. You know, there is nothing better than that.”
Ans Andy Murray took a break from practising to tell BBC Sport the secret to his 12-match winning streak on clay this year.
“I think just in general, my level’s been better,” he said.
“And then winning my first clay-court tournament in Munich was important for me. That was a change I made in my schedule with my team, and that’s something that I’d never done before.
“I’d never played a 250 event on the clay and that’s been a good decision that’s paid off.”
Meanwhile, brother Jamie progressed to the third round of the doubles with Australian partner John Peers after they saw off Santiago Giraldo and Dusan Lajovic 6-1 6-2.
They are likely to meet the top-seeded Americans Mike and Bob Bryan in the quarter-finals if they win their next match, reports the BBC.
Meanwhile, Thanasi Kokkinakis, who plays world number one Novak Djokovic in the third round tomorrow, was only five when American garage rock band The Strokes released their debut album Is This It.
Unsurprising perhaps then that the Australian 19-year-old was nonplussed when women’s world number 10 Andrea Petkovic reposted a tweet that said he “looks like The Strokes circa 2001. All of them”.
“Who are the Strokes?” he replied.
“Poor you, new generation, that only knows Drake and Rihanna (and maybe Coldplay),” reflected 27-year-old Petkovic.
