Game system and schedule of the French Open on the eighth day with Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz returned to court at the start of the second week of the French Open with the start of the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Djokovic, the focus of fresh controversy in Paris, was pushed into a bruising battle against Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina but won in three sets to continue his bid for a 23rd Grand Slam title. The Serbian now faces top seed Juan Pablo Farias, who knocked out Hubert Hurkacz in the previous round.

Alcaraz was in prime form when the world number one took down Denis Schapovulf on Friday night and returned to Court Philippe Chatrier to take on Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti, who knocked out Cameron Norrie in straight sets. Djokovic and Alcaraz remain on a collision course at Roland Garros and just two wins away from securing their long-awaited first Grand Slam meeting.

The clash between world number two Aryna Sabalenka and former French Open finalist Sloane Stephens highlights Philippe Chatrier’s night session – making her the first women’s singles match to be selected for the final match of the day so far at this tournament, after the men’s five. singles relationships.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the eighth day of the French Open.
