Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam Gold Cup winner, would set a new record if he wins the French Open. He eliminated Mutter after 3 hours and 5 minutes, even though he needed a medical timeout to treat blisters on his foot in round 2. Mutter failed to capitalize on the late point of the third set and later lost in the tie-break. Djokovic will face Misolić of Upper Austria in the third round.

Djokovic said after the game, "I think overall, I played well". He added: "I was more confident and felt better when I came into the game at Roland Garros and I hope to keep it up. The 38-year-old Djokovic won the Geneva Open men's singles title last week, becoming only the third men's tennis player in history to win 100 ATP singles titles.

As for the women's singles part, American teenager Gough, who is the second seed of the tournament and won the 2022 French Open women's singles runner-up, also successfully advanced to the third round. Despite her inconsistent serve in the second round, she defeated Czech Republic's Valentova, who won the French Open junior women's singles title last year, 6-2, 6-4.
