2022 French Open: Draw, seeds, schedule, how to watch, stream, live updates, scores, TV channel
The fourth round of the 2022 French Open is well underway. On the men's competition, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal won their respective fourth round matches and will be facing each other in the quarterfinal round. This will be their 59th all-time meeting, and the 10th at the Roland-Garros stage.
It will be a good opportunity for Nadal — a 13-time French Open champion — to make his Serbian opponent pay for defeating him in last year's semifinals. The Spanish star arrived to Paris with injury concerns, but so far Nadal still managed to win his first three rounds via straight sets.
Whoever advances in that one could be taking on Carlos Alcaraz in the following round, that is if he can continue his winning ways. He took care of Sebastian Korda 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Friday. Alcaraz beat both Nadal and Djokovic in consecutive matches and went on to win the Madrid Open earlier in May.
On the women's side, world No.1 Iga Swiatek entered the competition with a 28-match winning streak and the No. 1 seed. Since then, she has extended to that streak to 31. Swiatek took care of Danka Kovinic 6-3, 7-5 in Saturday's third round. She is the only top 10 player remaining on the women's side.
Her path to a second French Open title got a little clearer after some big names fell in the first round including defending champion Barbora Krejcikova (2), Anett Kontaveit (5), Ons Jabeur (6), Garbine Muguruza (10) and unseeded Naomi Osaka who made her return to Roland Garros after withdrawing from the 2021 even to focus on her mental health.
Serena Williams will not be playing in the French Open for first time since 2017. She has not played since last June when she suffered an ankle injury at Wimbledon.
