But against the World No. 1 Zheng will need to absorb all the pressure at the start of the match and even counterract the Pole's aggressive shots.

At 30-40 she shanks a forehand, then Trevisan goes long on the backhand ... and this time, Sasnovich, twice a break down in this set, punishes a backhand winner cross-court that breaks the sideline! But a forehand into the net gives Trevisan another go at 7-6 and a decent returns gets her into the point ... only for a forehand error to give it away. Trevisan has had a great run to this point and is yet to drop a set. A colossal double cedes break-back point, which Sasnovich saves, but she then nets a backhand when Trevisan raises another, and we’ll now decide the set on a breaker. Trevisan isn’t going to die wondering, upping the venom on her forehand to clobber a winner down the line for 0-15, then batters another for 0-30. But then another goes wide and Sasnovich finds a winner of her own for 30-all; can she close out? She goes for a monster but it’s long and Sasnovich climbs right into her second effort, spanking a backhand winner cross-court. Trevisan dictates with her forehand, and a mishit from Sasnovich goes wide! She breaks to love, having won eight of the last nine points, and will now serve for a decider at 5-3! She will be raging if she loses this, and when she goes long with a forehand that looks likely! Trevisan defends well, Sasnovich goes long on the backhand, and that’s match point! Fernandez will now serve for the set a second time.

Iga Swiatek reached fourth round at Roland Garros for the fourth time in four appearances with 6-3, 7-5 win over Danka Kovinic on Saturday.

The last match Swiatek lost was against 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko back on February 16 in the round of 16 at Dubai. "It's not that I forgot how to play these kinds of sets." She also said she made sure to deliver a message to Swiatek when they shook hands at the net. In the second, she dropped four straight games to trail 5-4. The top nine men's seeds are into the fourth round, where Monday's matchups will be Medvedev vs Cilic in a showdown between past US Open champions; 2021 finalist Tsitsipas vs. Been more aggressive when she's needed to be." Yeah, it's a little scary," said Pegula, who needed 10 match points to close out her first-round victory, then eight more in her next match, but sealed Saturday's 6-1 7-6 (2) win over 2021 semifinalist Tamara Zidansek on her initial chance. Swiatek's groundstrokes are smooth, sure, but as with anyone's are liable to waver; her forehand was particularly problematic on a windy afternoon with the temperature in the low 60s Fahrenheit (teens in Celsius), accounting for 17 of her 23 unforced errors. All won in straight sets, except for Rublev, who required four, and Ruud, who edged No. 32 Lorenzo Sonego 6-2 6-7 (3) 1-6 6-4,6-3 at night. Swiatek's serve, for example, is solid but not especially speedy; her fastest Saturday was 108 mph, 7 mph slower than Kovinic produced. "Thinking about all these stats, it's not really helpful.

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal would each "make totally different requests" in regards to a day or night match if they are to end up facing off in Paris.

"All of a sudden he [Djokovic] loses to Alcaraz [in Madrid], what’s happening? All of a sudden, they go to Australia where everyone is saying Novak is going to break the record and guess what? Novak has a way of fuelling these situations into something positive - that is very hard to do. Well, he wins Rome; now it looks like, there is Novak Djokovic - he’s back! Slight, very slight!" "I don't think we have to worry a whole lot about Rafa at Roland-Garros, if you look at his record, it's crazy, it's insane how good it is.

Schwartzman thwacks a straight ball down the line and has another effervescent winner at the net, toying with Djokovic before dispatching punchily.

Attempting to hit behind his back on the backhand, Djokovic finds the net. Djokovic sends a shot long, and Schwartzman can hold onto the serve, and an important second set lead. His shot finds a tiny patch of court, right in the back righthand corner of the baseline, which Djokovic can't reach, but his attempt to close the game goes long, bringing the players to deuce. After a sticky start to his serve which sends him 30-0 behind, Djokovic powers an unreachable shot down the line. He gains the advantage after a looping shot from Schwartzman goes long, and punches the air after meeting every wild ball of Schwartzman's before he hits it long. At set point, Djokovic sends Schwartzman back deep, and his final effort to return Djokovic's forehand only reaches the net. He gains the advantage, and wins the game after Schwartzman sends his shot into the net.

Nadal finds better rhythym in this game, and dispatches Auger-Aliassime, who overpowers at least two shots to send them out, quickly.

Auger-Aliassime is forced to hit long, and Nadal takes the game with ease. Nadal faults, and Auger-Aliassime has the chance, as his opponent did, to break his serve. But Nadal can be bested, and a well-placed shot glances the wrong way, leaving Nadal unable to run for it. Nadal returns easily, and wins a point firing a shot down the line with the smallest effort to go 0-30 up. He sends another fault into the sideline, and Auger-Aliassime has another attempt to break from advantage. The timings he can draw out of his shots can leave opponents baffled, and he sets up Auger-Aliassime to miss a well-weighted, considered shot. He double faults, and Nadal has broken back to win the game. Since 2015, Nadal has been able to break back nearly 50% of the time after he is broken at Roland Garros, which is quite the challenge to meet. Nadal sends a shot out to bring the players level on 30 all. Auger-Aliassime opens the points, but Nadal, mostly on his second serve, stems his advance, but sends his next return long to level them at 30 all. Nadal plucks a high dropshot out of the air and smashes it, once to be returned, then again up and out over Auger-Aliassime's head. Auger-Aliassime delivers his second ace of the match to stop Nadal from making good on his break point.

Novak Djokovic is still to drop a set at Roland Garros after cruising through the first week.

I told Felix that my ethics do not allow me to give him advice on beating my nephew. World number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic reached a 16th French Open quarter-final on Sunday where old rival and 13-time winner Rafael Nadal could be waiting. Amanda is a very good player but I was happy to win in front of you," said the 2019 junior champion. Alcaraz has won 20 of 21 matches on clay this season but needed to save a match point to beat Spanish compatriot Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the second round. “I’ve made a good start but I have a lot of work to do," added Djokovic who will face Nadal for the 10th time at Roland Garros and 59th overall if the Spaniard defeats Felix Auger-Aliassime later Sunday. “I have a lot of respect for him (Schwartzman). He’s a good person off the court," said Djokovic who has now beaten Schwartzman seven times in seven meetings.

Novak Djokovic defeated 15th-seeded Diego Schwartzman of Argentina 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday.

He won the title in 2016 and last year, part of his collection of 20 Grand Slam trophies. And if 13-time French Open champion Nadal wins his fourth-round match against Felix Auger-Aliassime later Sunday, the two long-time rivals would meet each other in the quarterfinals. She broke Anisimova six times and now has won 23 of her opponents' service games through four matches. Fernandez, the youngest player to win a WTA title in 2022, is seeded 17th at the French Open and will play Martina Trevisan of Italy next. The Canadian made a breakthrough last year at the U.S. Open by making it all the way to the final before losing to Emma Raducanu in a matchup between a pair of unseeded teenagers. Djokovic has made the quarterfinals in Paris 13 years in a row.

French Open 2022: World No. 1 Novak Djokovic showed signs of return to peak form as he decimated 15th seed Diego Schwartzman to progress to the ...

Djokovic is all set for a collision with 13-time Roland Garros winner Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final. "I have a lot of respect for him. Djokovic was largely untroubled, barring the second set where he went down 2-0, conceding an early break.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will meet in the Roland Garros quarterfinals on Tuesday. Here's a breakdown of their rivalry by the numbers.

21: After capturing the Australian Open in January, Nadal is the all-time men’s leader with 21 Grand Slam singles titles. He is seeking to extend his record with a 22nd major title, while Djokovic is looking to tie him at 21. Nadal broke in the eighth game of the fifth set and then served it out with a forehand winner into the open court after a short rally. I am glad because I didn’t spend too much time on the court, because it will be physical. The only thing I can guarantee is I’m going to fight until the end, so many thanks.” And the only thing that I can tell you is I’m going to be focused since [Monday], going to try my best as always.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will play in the French Open quarterfinals after each won his fourth round match at Roland Garros.

I’m glad that I didn’t spend too much time on the court myself up to quarterfinals, knowing that playing him in Roland Garros is always a physical battle, along with everything else,” said Djokovic, who beat 15th-seeded Diego Schwartzman 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 earlier Sunday and has won all 12 sets he’s played in the tournament. Looking at the larger picture, Nadal’s record 13 championships at Roland Garros are part of his haul of 21 Grand Slam trophies, a record for men. Djokovic leads 30-28, although Nadal has a 7-2 advantage at the French Open.

Rafael Nadal came through his first test of the French Open to beat Felix Auger-Aliassime and set up a quarter-final clash with Novak Djokovic.

Nadal began to get cheap service games, and he worked a break of his own to get back on level terms in the contest. Auger-Aliassime had not read it, as he found his level from the first set at a time when Nadal’s intensity drifted, and he was able to force a deciding set. As the temperature dropped in Paris, the snap went from Nadal’s groundstrokes. Nadal paid tribute to Auger-Aliassime, as he said: “He did a lot of things well. In contrast, Auger-Aliassime was razor sharp and hungry to chase down everything and return it with interest. “I had to do something different at the end of the match.

With broadcasters, organisers and the players all at odds with each other, there is no right answer when it comes to Tuesday's order of play.

At night usually in all slams, in all tournaments, the atmosphere is more energetic, more electric, crowd gets into it. “It’s nice to have the full crowd. Obviously, depending on who you play, sometimes it’s favourable to play night; sometimes day. i understands that Amazon are expected to win the battle with France Télévisions, the state-owned broadcaster who have the rest of the rights to the tournament to have Nadal vs Djokovic scheduled in their slot. TV, whether they want your match, day or night,” Djokovic said. “I think that makes a big difference who plays tennis on clay during the night and during the day.”

Rafael Nadal won in five sets while his quarter-final opponent Novak Djokovic will be the fresher having beaten Diego Schwartzman in straight sets.

He peppered Nadal with well-timed drop shots, he continued to look for forehands to dominate with and he was supreme at the net. From the player who would run out of ideas in his early exchanges against the big players, here he continually searched for solutions and often found them. Just as it seemed that Nadal was in control, however, he inexplicably started the fourth set with a flurry of unforced errors. Nadal then rode all of his momentum to a two sets to one lead. He watched on as, after the elation of Real Madrid’s Champions League win that Nadal attended, on an extremely cold afternoon Nadal started the match out of sorts. Rafael Nadal has played 112 tennis matches at Roland Garros over the course of his career and he has somehow lost just three times on these courts.
