Day 9 of the Roland Garros will witness high quality action with several big names in action on the clay. Some of the sport's biggest sporting stars will be in the fourth-round action as they look to book a spot in the quarter-finals on the clay courts in Paris.
Last year's Roland Garros champion Novak Djokovic will return to the court after his five-set thriller against Italy's Lorenzo Musetti. Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev will also battle it out to make it to the last eight.
In the women's singles, Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka will be first and second respectively on the Court Philippe-Chartier.
Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden will face N Sriram Balaji and Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela Martinez in a round of 16 clash in the Men's doubles. Balaji is likely to be Rohan Bopanna's choice for the Paris Olympics doubles team. Second seeds Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden overcame Brazilians Orlando Luz and Marcelo Zormann 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in a testing three-set opening round at the French Open on Sunday.

Meanwhile, India's N Sriram Balaji booked his maiden pre-quarter finals berth as he and his Mexican partner Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela Martinez beat their French opponent 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
Sabalenka looked in serene form so far as she breezed past her good friend Paula Badosa 7-5, 6-1 in the previous round. However, the 2nd seeded player is expected to face a stiff challenge from Emma Navarro. Just like Sabalenka, Navarro is also yet to lose a set and came through two tie-breaks against her American compatriot Madison Keys in the third round.
Djokovic will face Argentina's Fraciso Cerundolo in what promises to be a dramatic day in the French Capital. Interestingly, Djokovic and Cerundolo have never met before on clay.
