Novak Djokovic v Marton Fucsovics

The night session goes to Djokovic who returns to continue his quest for a third title in Paris when he faces Hungarian, Marton Fucsovics.

He began against Aleksandar Kovacevic sealing victory in straight sets. He dropped just five games initially before his opponent took it to a tie-break.

Fucsovics on the otherhand saw off Hugo Grenier and is 7-5 at the clay court major where he has reached the second round in his last three appearances at least.

Head to Head wise, they have never met on clay but Djokovic has won all four prior meetings on other surfaces.

Carlos Alcaraz v Taro Daniel

Alcaraz spoke of feeling invincible after opening his campaign earlier this week against Flavio Cobolli and next up is Taro Daniel.

Similar to his last opponent, they have only met once in a challenger tournament with a semi-final win for Alcaraz over the Japanese ace in Oeiras.

It was a three set tie which Alcaraz breezed through finally. He will hope for a similar equation here.
