World number three Novak Djokovic survived a second-set lapse before beating Romania's Victor Hanescu 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-2 and book his place in the fourth round of the French Open on Saturday.
In a seesaw performance, the Serbian pumped his fists and smashed his racket onto the ground as he struggled to break Hanescu's resilience on Centre Court.
He came back from a break down, however, in the fourth set to win six games in a row, wrapping up the win when the 31st-seeded Hanescu misfired a service return after two hours and 38 minutes.
Next in line for Djokovic is either former champion Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain or American Robby Ginepri.
