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.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
