British No 1 Jack Draper takes on young gun Joao Fonseca in a fascinating French Open clash as the third round rolls on at Roland Garros.
The tournament is gathering speed and intensity as it takes the turn at the middle weekend, with a host of contenders new and old in action on a busy Saturday in Paris.
Novak Djokovic headlines the night session, missing out on a chance to watch the Champions League final, while Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are among the top male seeds also in action.
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula both take to Court Phillipe-Chatrier looking to further their bids for clay-court success - though the latter faces a tough test against former Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova, a finalist here in 2019.
Elsewhere, a battle of the Brits sees Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley face off, but there’s bad news for French fans with Arthur Fils forced to withdraw from the tournament having been due to face Andrey Rublev.
