Paris - Top seed Novak Djokovic survived a worrying injury scare to reach the French Open third round on Thursday with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Gilles Muller of Luxemburg.
It was Djokovic's 24th consecutive win this year as he took another step towards a first ever Roland Garros title and a career Grand Slam.
However, he needed a medical timeout leading 5-4 in the second set for treatment on what appeared to be a right groin strain.
It didn't affect him too much as he quickly wrapped up the second set with a service game to love.
The 28-year-old goes on to face Australian 19-year-old Thanasi Kokkinakis for a place in the last 16.
