Iga Swiatek began the action at the French Open today, before Coco Gauff took to the court ahead of Carlos Alcaraz facing off against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. Jannik Sinner is also set to feature on another packed day of action at Roland Garros.
Women’s top seed Swiatek has battled through so far as she seeks a fourth French Open title but destroyed Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 first up on Court Philippe-Chatrier before one of her rivals for the title, Gauff, dispatched Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto in similarly emphatic style, 6-1, 6-2.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals after he eased to a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 win against Auger-Aliassime. The Spaniard, seeded third in the tournament, will face Tsitsipas after the latter’s taxing win against world number 35 Matteo Arnaldi, which finished 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 2-6, 2-6.
