French Open: Novak Djokovic sets up blockbuster quarterfinal following win over Cam Norrie

Novak Djokovic set up a French Open quarterfinal with Alexander Zverev after easing past Cam Norrie in straight sets on Monday.

The Serbian icon cruised to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory over world No. 81 Norrie in the last 16 at the Paris Grand Slam.

Djokovic broke seven times en route to improving his head-to-head record against the 29-year-old Brit to 6-0.

In his on-court interview, Djokovic said: "I feel good. I expect each day to play better and better. I've played 12 really good, solid sets so far. Everything is looking good."

Asked about reaching 100 wins at Roland Garros, the former world No. 1 added: "It's a good number, a happy number for me. But the 101st victory is the most important (laughs).

"It's another victory but it's obviously not finished here for me. I'm happy to add to the history of this sport that has given me so much. I hope there will be another win in a couple of days."

The No. 6 seed has progressed to the quarter-finals without dropping a set in his four dominant wins. He will face world No. 3 Zverev in a quarter-final blockbuster. The German will be well-rested for the latter stages of the tournament after his last-16 opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired with an abdominal injury while trailing 6-4, 3-0.

Djokovic's win against Norrie was his 100th victory at the French Open, which makes him the third man to reach a century of wins at a single Grand Slam event.

Rafael Nadal won 112 matches at Roland Garros, while Roger Federer amassed 105 victories at Wimbledon and 102 at the Australian Open.

Djokovic, who celebrated his 38th birthday on May 22, has become the oldest male player to reach the French Open quarter-finals since Hungarian Istvan Gulyas in 1971.
