World number four Alexander Zverev reached the French Open third round with a 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-2 victory over experienced Belgian David Goffin on Thursday.
The German, who ousted 14-times champion Rafael Nadal in the opening round, had to work hard to win the first-set tiebreak but broke early in the second.
Former quarter-finalist Goffin nearly broke Zverev's serve in the fourth game but the German held firm, mixing up his game well to close out the match.
"I was happy that I ran away with it but also happy that I played well," said Zverev, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the 2022 French Open semi-finals.
Zverev will next face Italian Luciano Darderi or Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor.
