PARIS, May 28 ― World number two Daniil Medvedev and 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas target the French Open last 16 today while untroubled women's top seed Iga Swiatek eyes a 31st successive win.So far, Medvedev has looked the most likely to reach that stage, dropping just 16 games in two straight-sets wins.
Medvedev, a quarter-finalist at Roland Garros last year after four successive first round exits, takes on 28th seed Miomir Kecmanovic. Playing in Paris on a career-high ranking of 31, Kecmanovic is in the last 32 at Roland Garros for the first time. However, Ymer has rediscovered his form in Paris, reaching the third round for a second successive season.Holger Rune, just 19, faces 21-year-old Hugo Gaston. In stark contrast, 37-year-old Gilles Simon of France, playing on the tour for the final year, faces former US Open champion Marin Cilic, 33.
Women's world number one Swiatek, bidding for a second French Open title after her 2020 triumph, has put together a 30-match winning run and has dropped just four games in two rounds so far.
