‘I was not feeling comfortable’ - Djokovic reflects on win over Musetti
The French Open continues on Monday, June 3 at Roland-Garros, with some of the sport's biggest stars in fourth-round action as they look to book a spot in the quarter-finals on the clay courts of Paris.
Last year's men's champion Novak Djokovic returns after his five-set thriller against Lorenzo Musetti that ran into the early hours of Sunday morning, while Alexander Zverev will also be bidding to make the last eight.
In the women's draw, Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka will be first and second respectively on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Jasmine Paolini will grace Court Suzanne-Lenglen on what promises to be another dramatic day in the French capital.
Top men's match - Novak Djokovic v Franciso Cerundolo
Djokovic had made serene progress through the first two rounds but was out of sorts against Italy’s Musetti on Saturday night.
Perhaps thrown off by the late start amid ongoing delays due to bad weather, the world No. 1 had to lean on all his considerable powers of recovery to come from two sets to one down to seal victory at 3.07am.
Whether that will have an impact when he takes on Argentina’s Franciso Cerundolo remains to be seen, but either way, it should be an intriguing clash.
Cerundolo has dropped just one set en route to round four, recovering from losing the opener against America’s Tommy Paul to prevail.
Interestingly, Cerundolo and Djokovic have never met before, which may work in the Argentinian’s favour.

Top women's match - Aryna Sabalenka v Emma Navarro
Aryna Sabalenka has been one of the form players across the entire tournament and is yet to drop a set.
She breezed past her good friend Paula Badosa in the previous round but is likely to face a stiffer test when she meets Emma Navarro.
Navarro also hasn’t lost a set and came through two tie-breaks to down her American compatriot Madison Keys in the third round.
Sabalenka will start the favourite, but don’t be surprised if this one goes all the way.
