Jannik Sinner has joined an elite club including Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
The Italian is on a mission to win his maiden Roland Garros title and in the process become the World number one for the first time.
The 22-year-old has made a solid start to his campaign by reaching the fourth round without dropping a set.
But after beating Pavel Kotov on Friday, Sinner accomplished something only achieved by two legends of the game since the turn of the millennium.
Jannik Sinner sets Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic Grand Slam landmark
Sinner carved out a single break of serve in each set to claim a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win in two-hours and 27 minutes.
The Italian came into the tournament with a hip injury but he is showing no signs of pain and recorded a win under the roof on court Phillppe Chatrier.
By doing so, Sinner became just the third male player after Nadal and Djokovic to win his first 10 Grand Slam matches of the season before his 23rd birthday, according to OptaAce.
Sinner claimed the 2024 Australian Open and is aiming to keep his unbeaten Grand Slam record alive at Roland Garros.
Who does Jannik SInner play in the French Open fourth round?
Sinner will be back on court to face home favourite Corentin Moutet in the fourth round of Roland Garros.
This is the second Frenchman he will face in Paris this year, after he took out veteran Richard Gasquet in round two.
Moutet, who is into a fourth round at a major for the first time, beat Italian Open runner-up Nicolas Jarry in round one, before defeating two unseeded players to reach the round of 16..
Sunday’s encounter will mark the first time that the pair will play one another and they can expect to compete in front of a raucous crowd.
