Iga Swiatek will hope to move a step closer to a defence of her French Open title as the Roland Garros champion takes on Wang Xinyu of China on Saturday for a place in the last-16.
Elena Rybakina, who is so far leading the challenge to dethrone Swiatek in Paris, was scheduled to Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo but has pulled out of the French Open due to illness - while the match of the day is a contest between last year’s finalist Coco Gauff and 16-year-old breakout star Mirra Andreeva.
