Alexander Zverev booked his place in the third round of the French Open with a routine straight-set victory over Belgium’s David Goffin.
The German sixth seed continued to underline his title credentials with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-2 win.
Zverev has reached the semi-finals in his last three appearances at Roland Garros and is considered a favourite this year after winning the Italian Open earlier this month.
He will face Dutch 26th seed Tallon Griekspoor or Italy’s Luciano Darderi next.
After criticising the crowds earlier in the week, Goffin received a warmer reception on Court Suzanne Lenglen on Thursday.
But the world number 115, after offering Zverev just one break point opportunity in the first set, faltered in the opening set tie-break.
Zverev seized control from there, breaking early and again at 4-2 in the second set, while he earned successive breaks in the third before serving out the victory.
Zverev has denied the charges, with a hearing set to begin on Friday in Germany.
Elsewhere on Thursday, Daniil Medvedev progressed after his opponent Miomir Kecmanovic retired from their match.
Russian men’s fifth seed Medvedev was leading the second round contest 6-1 5-0 when Serbia’s Kecmanovic decided he could not continue.
Kecmanovic, 24, shook his head in the direction of the chair umpire after losing his serve for a third time in the second set, with 55 minutes on the clock.
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, will play Argentine 31st seed Mariano Navone or Czech Tomas Machac next.
Medvedev, 28, whose best French Open performance was a run to the quarter-finals in 2021, had hit 26 winners and just six unforced errors in an impressive display against his 57th-ranked opponent.
Meanwhile, Bulgarian 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov managed to secure his spot in the third round before rain disrupted play on the outdoor courts, beating Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan 6-0 6-3 6-4.
