Fourth-seeded Tomas Berdych is into the French Open fourth round, overcoming a tough start to beat Benoit Paire 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4.

The 29-year-old, a quarterfinalist at Roland Garros last year, has never won a Grand Slam. The closest he got was in 2010, losing the Wimbledon final to Rafael Nadal.

Berdych, who broke Paire's serve seven times, next faces either 14th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France or Spaniard Pablo Andujar.

They are playing their match on center court, with Tsonga taking a close-fought first set in a tiebreak.
