Novak Djokovic vs Diego Schwartzman
Novak Djokovic continued his straight set victory for the fourth consecutive time at Roland Garros as he defeated Diego Schwartzman 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 to set a quarter-final showdown with 13-time champion Rafael Nadal in the French capital.
After easing past Yoshihito Nishioka, Alex Molcan and Aljaz Bedene in his opening three rounds in Paris, Djokovic produced another convincing display to see off the threat of the 15th seed Schwartzman. The World No. 1 required five sets to overcome the Argentine in the pair’s previous meeting at Roland Garros in 2017, but his all-around level this time around was such that Schwartzman was unable to drag the top seed into another drawn-out battle.
Rafael Nadal vs Felix Auger Aliassime
Rafael Nadal set up a blockbuster French Open quarter-final against world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday when he defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in a five-set fourth round epic. Nadal, the 13-time champion at Roland Garros and holder of a record 21 Grand Slam titles, triumphed over the Canadian 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in a match which lasted four hours and 21 minutes.
Alexander Zverev vs Zapata Miralles
Alexander Zverev reached the French Open quarter-finals for the fourth time by ending Spanish qualifier Bernabe Zapata Miralles’ run in the last 16 on Sunday. Zverev’s quality in the big moments proved enough in a 7-6 (13/11), 7-5, 6-3 victory. The 25-year-old German will face teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Karen Khachanov
Carlos Alcaraz has broken new ground all season, and he did so again on Sunday in Paris. The Spaniard reached his first Roland Garros quarter-final with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win against 21st seed Karen Khachanov. The sixth seed will next play third seed Alexander Zverev for a place in his first major semi-final.
Alcaraz saved a match point in the fourth set of his thrilling second-round five-setter against countryman Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Since that moment, he has shown the form that made him one of the leading favourites at the clay-court major.
In the third and fourth rounds, Alcaraz has won all six of his sets — against Sebastian Korda and Khachanov — by a margin of 6-4 or greater. The 19-year-old lost serve just once against Khachanov to advance after two hours and 14 minutes.
The 21st seed battled hard throughout to make inroads against Alcaraz, but the sixth seed always seemed to have the answer.
Women’s Singles
Leylah Fernandez vs Amanda Anisimova
No.17 seed Leylah Fernandez defeated No.27 Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in a fourth-round clash of under-21 talent at Roland Garros. Fernandez reached her second Grand Slam quarterfinal and first in Paris in 1 hour and 54 minutes.
The US Open finalist will next meet another left-hander in Martina Trevisan, who squeaked past Aliaksandra Sasnovich 7-6(10), 7-5 in 1 hour and 59 minutes to extend her winning streak to nine matches.
