Top women’s match – Aryna Sabalenka v Sloane Stephens
Top billing on Sunday night will be Aryna Sabalenka’s compelling fourth-round meeting with 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens.
The pair take to Philippe-Chatrier as the scheduled night match, and it should be a fascinating battle as Sabalenka – so dominant in the tournament so far – faces a new quality of opponent in Stephens.
The winner will take on either Kasatkina or Elina Svitolina.
Top men’s match – Carlos Alcaraz v Lorenzo Musetti
There’s potentially one of the matches of the tournament in store third on Chatrier on Sunday as men’s top seed and world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz takes on arguably the form player at Roland-Garros 2023 so far, Lorenzo Musetti.
Alcaraz will likely have his work cut out in this one, with the victor to take on either surprise package Sebastian Ofner or Tsitsipas.
Brit Watch
With no Brits left in the main singles draws, there is only British interest left in the doubles.
On Sunday, Jamie Murray and Lloyd Glasspool are both in action, the former in the mixed doubles, and the latter in the men’s doubles.
