Paris, June 5

Novak Djokovic reached the fourth round of the French Open for a record 12th consecutive year. The top-seeded Djokovic has not been pushed yet in any match in the first week at Roland Garros, winning 6-1 6-4 6-1 against 93rd-ranked Ricardas Berankis today.

Joining him in the fourth round was defending champion Rafael Nadal, who eased past Cameron Norrie of Great Britain in straight sets. Roger Federer was to play his third-round match in the night session.

In the women’s draw, fifth seed Elina Svitolina crashed out with a third-round 6-3 6-2 loss to 33rd-ranked Czech Barbora Krejcikova as big names continued to fall. The tournament is already without its top three women’s seeds, and Ukrainian Svitolina joined them after failing to find a way to rein in the 25-year-old Krejcikova’s power-packed game in their first meeting. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
