Stefanos Tsitsipas blasted into the third round at the French Open with a 6-1 6-4 6-2 victory over Pablo Cuevas.

The 22-year-old Greek needed over three hours to rally from two sets down and beat little-known Spaniard Jaume Munar in round one and he could not have hoped for an easier second match on Philippe Chatrier.

Tsitsipas broke the 34-year-old Cuevas's serve six times while facing a single break point during his own service games and closed out victory in 88 minutes.
