French Open order of play and schedule on Day 8 with Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in action

AP

The French Open fourth round concludes on Monday and, by the close of play, we’ll know the eight men and eight women making up the quarter-finalists at Roland Garros.

Women’s world No 1 Iga Swiatek will look to continue her serene progress in defence of the title she won last year, with Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko standing in her way at the last-16 juncture. Sixth and seventh seeds Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur will be also competing in the two women’s matches on Court Philippe Chatrier as they look to lay down a marker in pursuit of their first grand slam titles.

After a brief hiatus to put a women’s match as the night-session contest on Chatrier on Sunday (Aryna Sabalenka vs Sloane Stephens), the French Open organisers have reverted to type with another men’s contest slated for the evening slot on Monday – Grigor Dimitrov vs Alexander Zverev being given the honour. Scandinavian duo Casper Ruud (fourth seed) and Holger Rune (sixth seed) are among the other men trying to book a spot in the last eight earlier in the day.

They’ll be aiming to join the likes of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals after the pair moved ever closer to a blockbuster semi-final match-up by easing through their fourth-round matches on Sunday. Djokovic surpassed Rafael Nadal’s all-time record by reaching his 17th French Open quarter-final with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 thrashing of Juan Pablo Varillas, while Alcaraz continued to look every inch a potential champion in a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Lorenzo Musetti.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Day 9 of the French Open.
