Roger Federer's impressive run in the French Open continued as the Swiss legend brushed aside unseeded Argentine Leonardo Mayer to reach the last eight on Sunday.
The two-time winner at Roland Garros produced a masterclass, hardly giving his opponent a sniff, as he breezed to comfortable 6-2 6-3 6-3 success on Philippe-Chatrier.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion, back at Roland Garros after a three-year hiatus, cruised through the opening rounds seemingly unchallenged and his last-16 encounter was no exception.
Things are likely to get trickier for Federer from now on as the third seed will next face either a resurgent Stan Wawrinka, the champion in 2015, or Greek sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas who beat him at the Australian Open.
On Sunday, however, it appeared as if Federer was enjoying a leisurely stroll in the Parisian sun.
After just over an hour, Federer was already two sets up and the 37-year-old played effortlessly, smacking winners around the court with self-confidence.
In his four matches in Paris, Federer has yet to drop a set and will certainly provide a tough challenge to Rafael Nadal, who is bidding to win his 12th French Open title.
