Fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the French Open third round with a straight-set victory over Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena.
The Greek, runner-up at Roland Garros in 2021, won 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Tsitsipas, 24, next plays Argentine Diego Schwartzman or Portugal's Nuno Borges, both of whom are unseeded.
Tsitsipas has never won a Grand Slam, having lost in the French Open and Australian Open finals.
He broke Carballes Baena twice in winning the first set and, although he broke twice again in the second, Carballes Baena responded immediately each time as four games in a row went against serve.
Tsitsipas took the tie-break, quickly went 4-0 up in the third and served out to complete victory in two hours 16 minutes.
