World No 1 Iga Swiatek's run towards her third straight French Open title goes on uninterrupted. Coming from an improbable comeback victory against Naomi Osaka in the second round, Swiatek found it easy in the third winning 6-4 6-2 against Marie Bouzkova.

Another big name in the women's singles, Coco Gauff beat Australian Open semifinalist Dayana Yastremska 6-2, 6-4 to march into fourth round.

Ons Jabeur also entered the fourth round with an easy straight-sets win.

However, the best part of the women's singles action on Friday was the turnaround win of Olga Danilovic. After being blanked 0-6 in the first set by Donna Vekic, it seemed like Danilovic's dream run will be over soon.

But the qualifier who had downed Danielle Collins in the second round won the second set and then pushed the game deep. The match entered into tiebreaker in the decider and when Danilovic finally won after a three-hour thriller, she collapsed to the ground with tears rolling down her cheeks.

This will be her maiden appearance at a Grand Slam Round Of 16.

Big names in men's singles too earned easy victories. Jannik Sinner found the sailing smooth advancing to the fourth round by winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 against Pavel Kotov.

World No 3 Carlos Alcaraz knocked Seb Korda out earning a dominant  6-4, 7-6(5), 6-3 victory.

Stefanos Tsitsipas also registered his entry into the fourth round with a straight sets win over Zhizhen Zhang.

The big news came from Court Suzanne-Lenglen where sixth seed Andrey Rublev was handed a shock loss by Matteo Arnaldi. Rublev's non-stop screaming did not help his cause as his lack of precision kept helping Arnaldi.

Frustration kept getting better of Rublev as he saw the defeat nearing. Ultimately Arnaldi knocked out the Russian 7-6(8), 6-2, 6-4.

The doubles action also began Friday and the two Indians in action had contrasting results.

Yuki Bhambri suffered a first round exit alongside his partner Albano Olivetti while N Sriram Balaji with Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela Martinez of Mexico advanced to the second round.
