The Swiss makes the fourth round at a Slam for the 68th time with a 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (3/7), 7-6 (7/4), 7-5 win over Germany's Dominik Koepfer. FMTNews

Roger Federer plays a return to Dominik Koepfer during their third round match in Paris on Saturday.

Djokovic, the champion in Paris in 2016 and chasing a 19th Grand Slam title, brushed aside 93rd-ranked Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 6-1, 6-4, 6-1. Nadal’s 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Britain’s Cameron Norrie put him into the last 16 of a Major for the 50th time. His tie ended just before 12.45pm Sunday morning and was played inside Court Philippe Chatrier devoid of fans due to a government-enforced Covid-19 curfew.

Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic reached the last 16 for the second successive year with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over three-time quarterfinalist Elina Svitolina as only three of the top 10 women’s seeds made it to the second week.
