Novak Djokovic will face Grigor Dimitrov in the French Open third round.

Dimitrov, who is dating Maria Sharapova, also won his second round match in straight sets.

Others to advance to the third round in Paris yesterday were Victoria Azarenka, Sam Stosur, Jelena Jankovic and Kei Nishikori.

However, Li Na is no longer in contention.

Li, a former French Open champion, lost to Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

The second round encounter between Maria Sharapova and Eugenie Bouchard is yet to be completed.

Sharapova leads Bouchard 6-2 4-2.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are both on the Friday menu at Roland Garros.

Kevin Anderson is also on the schedule today.

Anderson will face 14th seed, Milos Raonic, in his third round outing.
