Novak Djokovic vs Aljaz Bedene
Top seed Novak Djokovic powered past Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia 6-3 6-3 6-2 on Friday to advance to the French Open fourth round and stay firmly on course to challenge for a record-equalling 21st Grand Slam win. The 35-year-old world number one, who was on the court for less than two hours, next plays 15th seed Diego Schwartzman of Argentina.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Filip Krajinovic
Felix Auger-Aliassime set a fourth-round meeting with Rafael Nadal on Friday at Roland Garros after the Canadian overcame Filip Krajinovic 7-6(3), 7-6(2), 7-5.
In a tight encounter, the Canadian demonstrated his fighting spirit, raising his tempo in the key moments and rallying from a break down in the third set to earn victory in three hours and four minutes.
B Van De Zandschulp vs Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal continued his pursuit of a 14th French Open title, cruising past Dutch 26th seed Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the last 16 on Friday.
The 21-time major champion will play Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger Aliassime for a place in the quarter-finals, where world number one Novak Djokovic could await him.
He now faces 26th seed Botic van de Zandschulp, who started his campaign with a fourth set win over qualifier Pavel Kotov. However, he later showed his class to knock out veteran Fabio Fognini to set up a clash with Nadal. The duo have never met previously in their careers and Nadal will be the clear favourite.
Alexander Zverev vs Brandon Nakashima
Alexander Zverev earned a hard-fought 7-6(2), 6-3, 7-6(5) victory on Court Suzanne Lenglen to advance to the fourth round for the fifth straight year in Paris. He reached the semi-finals last year and the quarters in 2018 and 2019.
“I think I raised my level today,” Zverev said in an on-court interview. “I prefer this [compared to the second-round thriller]. This is much better for me. I don’t lose too much hair, I can still grow old,” he joked.
Amanda Anisimova vs Karolina Muchova
Anisimova, 20, continued her 2022 resurgence by reaching the fourth round for the second time in as many Grand Slams this season. The American ended 2021 ranked No.78, but is already back up to No.28 after compiling a 23-8 record so far. That includes a second career title at Melbourne Summer Set 2, a fourth-round showing at the Australian Open, a semifinal run in Charleston and quarterfinals in Madrid and Rome.
The result marks Anisimova’s fourth overall Grand Slam second-week showing and her second at Roland Garros following her breakthrough 2019 semifinal run.
Belinda Bencic vs Leylah Fernandez
No.17 seed Leylah Fernandez reached the fourth round of Roland Garros for the first time with a 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 against No.14 seed Belinda Bencic in a 2-hour, 49-minute tug-of-war. She will meet No.27 Amanda Anisimova, who advanced after an ankle injury forced Karolina Muchova to retire trailing 6-7(7), 6-2, 3-0.
The result marks the second time Fernandez, 19, has reached the second week of a Grand Slam, following her breakthrough run to last year’s US Open final.
