2023 Roland Garros Day Six Schedule featuring Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, Pegula

Friday, 02 June 2023 at 10:36

Day Six takes place on Friday at the French Open with a top slate of third round action at Roland Garros as the schedule has now been confirmed outside of the doubles matches.

Court Philippe Chatrier sees Jessica Pegula face Elise Mertens, Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz are all also in action and all feature in our Matches to Watch.

Novak Djokovic v Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Djokovic will continue his French Open campaign third up on Chatrier on Friday when he faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

A match that could thrill especially given the Spaniard's prowess on clay. He will hope to dump out Djokovic like he did last year in Monte-Carlo.

Head to Head wise, it is 2/3 won by Djokovic, with their last meeting going to Davidovich Fokina.

Carlos Alcaraz v Denis Shapavalov

Another popcorn tie sees Carlos Alcaraz face off against Denis Shapovalov.

The Spaniard has said he feels invincible at times in this tournament but will likely face his biggest challenge so far in the Canadian.

It is their first time meeting surprisingly considering their prowess up the sharp end of the rankings.

Sabalenka and Pegula both continue their charge

Two out of the top four in the WTA rankings also continue their challenge on Friday with Jessica Pegula starting proceedings against Elise Mertens. While for Sabalenka, it is Kamilla Rakhimova who she will meet next.

Elina Svitolina, Daria Kasatkina and Sloane Stephens are also in action, with an outside shout for match of the day coming from Cameron Norrie - Lorenzo Musetti.
