Novak Djokovic returns to action in the French Open following his comfortable win over Roberto Carballes Baena, with Anya Sabalenka and Alexander Zverev also in action.
The win ensured the defending champion has reached the last 32 at Roland Garros for the 19th successive year, despite there being question marks over his form ahead of the tournament.
Alexander Zverez might have been playing at the French Open, but his court trial in Germany over domestic abuse has been playing out, although it was adjourned on Friday. But he beat Rafael Nadal in the first round, and came through easily against David Goffin in the third round.
Aryna Sabalenka will be looking to carry the form she has shown throughout the tournament so far into the game. The Belarussian has lost just seven games across two commanding straight set wins, before facing her “friend” Paula Badosa.
The tournament has been quite rain-affected so far, but all the matches scheduled for Saturday are the third round, although Ben Shelton’s game against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Hubert Hurkacz against Denis Shapovalov will pick up where they were unable to finish the evening before. Here’s the order of play and match schedule ahead of a bumper day six of the French Open.
