Sabalenka has looked impressive on the clay so far, defying all the challenges to power her way to the third round. Sabalenka, the second seed, secured her spot in the French Open third round with a dominant 6-2 , 6-2 victory over Japanese qualifier Uchijima. Rybakina faced a stiff challenge as she moved to the third round by defeating Aranxta Rus 6-3, 6-4.
There were doubts over Djokovic ahead of the 2nd Grand Slam of the year but the Serbian has made serene progress so far on the Paris clay. He is yet to drop a set in victories over Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Roberto Caraballes Baena. However, he will not be overlooking Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti as the 30th seed is also yet to lose a set.
Medvedev had breezed into the third round of the French Open as his Serbian opponent, Kecmanovic, retired from their match due to injury on Thursday.
