Djokovic saved all six break points he faced and compiled a total of 33 winners in the last match of the clay-court tournament's first round.
Djokovic will face Pablo Cuevas next.
The match against Sandgren was in Court Philippe Chatrier as part of the new scheduled night sessions at the French Open. It was played without spectators in the stands, though, because of a 9pm local curfew as part of COVID-19 restrictions.
