The round of 16 ends this Monday in the upper parts of the men's table and the lower part of the women's table.
This Sunday, Alexander Zverev, seeded No.6, was taken out by the great Italian prospect Jannik Sinner.
Who is the next surprise for?
The match to follow: Dimitrov-Tsitsipas
Grigor Dimitrov (n ° 18) has not had to work too hard for eight days.
After two easy laps against Barrère and Martin, the Bulgarian benefited from the retirement of the Spaniard Carballes Baena in the third round.
As a result, he only spent 5:22 on the courts of Porte d'Auteuil, where he had never yet managed to reach the round of 16 in nine participations.
For his part, Stefanos Tsitsipas did not stay much longer to climb the towers.
Despite a set conceded for his entry into contention against the Spaniard Munar, the Greek took only six hours to reach his second round of 16 in a row.
Last year, he lost at this stage of the competition after an extraordinary fight against Wawrinka (8-6 in the 5th set).
🤩 This passing is beautiful!
Stefanos Tsitsipas surprises Jaume Munar and continues his comeback in the 4th set # RG20

The Frenchwoman to watch: Fiona Ferro
The last survivor of the French clan, the world n ° 49 has a good card to play against the American Kenin, world n ° 6, who is not the most comfortable on clay.
The Azuréenne, with 18 consecutive victories, is still unbeaten since the resumption of the circuit in early August.
The protégé of Emmanuel Planque, who "no limit" is fixed, can take advantage of a very open female table after the successive eliminations of the main favorites.
Victory for Fiona Ferro 🇫🇷🔥
The Frenchwoman sticks a bubble to Patricia Maria Tig and qualifies for the round of 16!
Victory 7-6, 4-6, 6-0 for the 49th world # RG20

The star to watch: Novak Djokovic
After a first week as a pleasant health walk, the world n ° 1 finds a semblance of adversity with the Russian Khachanov, world n ° 16.
The last three years, the Muscovite has fallen to Murray, Zverev and Thiem respectively and it is difficult to see how he could block the road to the Serbian.
Khachanov can hold on to a sign of fate, however.
He has only beaten Djokovic once in four games and it was… in Paris, in the final of the Masters 1000 at Bercy two years ago.
