We’ve reached the quarter-final stage at the French Open, with the first semi-finalists set to be revealed on Tuesday at Roland Garros.
The dream semi-final of Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz is now just one victory away for each man but their quarter-final opponents won’t roll over without a fight. Djokovic surpassed Rafael Nadal’s all-time record by reaching his 17th French Open quarter-final but now faces talented 11th seed Karen Khachanov, while Alcaraz has looked like a champion in waiting with his performances so far but dangerous fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will likely give the Spaniard all he can handle in the night session on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Meanwhile, the women’s quarter-finals feature perhaps the most interesting and impactful match of the entire tournament. In the biggest sporting clash between a Ukrainian and a Belarusian since Russia – with the backing of Belarus –invaded Ukraine over a year ago, Elina Svitolina takes on Aryna Sabalenka.
The exchanges between the two are likely to be frosty, with former world No 3 Svitolina also playing her first grand slam since giving birth in October, while second seed Sabalenka is refusing to give press conferences at Roland Garros after being questioned about her support for autocratic Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Day 10 of the French Open.
