Alexander Zverev (3) def Tallon Griekspoor 6-4 3-0 (RET)
Alexander Zverev reached the Roland Garros quarter-finals for the seventh time in eight years on Monday, as Tallon Griekspoor retired through the second set.
Zverev, main 6-4, 3-0, noticed the Dutchman name for the physio earlier than withdrawing after 54 minutes on Courtroom Suzanne-Lenglen.
Griekspoor, ranked World No. 35, had taken a 3-0 lead within the first set, however his recreation seemed underpowered. The pair, assembly for the third time in 2025, have a historical past of tight matches, so I anticipated a battle on the market.
Nonetheless, it by no means actually received going as Griekspoor’s stomach was taped, and he wasn’t hitting his serve at its most.
Zverev has seemed sharp in Paris up to now, although, and though untested in the present day, he has performed some good tennis and may take a look at Djokovic in Wednesday’s quarterfinal.

The sixth seed defeated Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the quarter-finals for the sixteenth straight 12 months on the clay-court Grand Slam.
Norrie gave Novak a tricky time in Geneva per week in the past, however since then, Novak has grown in confidence and improved his degree of tennis, whereas Norrie has stayed about the identical.
That allowed the Serb to outclass the Brit along with his usually exact recreation, the place he has final management over the ball from the baseline.
Norrie began nicely by going up a break, however Djokovic took benefit of his errors, and regardless of Norrie adopting a bolder technique within the second set, which gave him some success, he struggled after a medical timeout for his left ankle at 3-4.
From there, Djokovic seized management, successful eight of the ultimate 10 video games in a two-hour, 14-minute victory.
It’s a really fairly quantity, however 101 victories sounds higher. I’ll proceed to seek for one other victory, it’s clearly not completed for me right here.

Alexander Bublik def Jack Draper (5) 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4
Alexander Bublik’s outstanding Roland Garros marketing campaign continued on Monday with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 upset over Jack Draper, marking his second Prime 10 victory of the week.
Regardless of Bublik’s improved performances on clay this season, together with a Challenger title in Turin, I assumed Draper would have an excessive amount of energy and consistency for the Kazakh.
Nonetheless, Bublik introduced a unique look to the desk, and Draper suffered loss of life by a thousand drop photographs.
After dropping the primary set, Bublik roared again, matching Draper from the baseline after which selecting him off with some completely executed dropshot that the Brit couldn’t get near reaching.
Bublik’s type of play additionally gained over the group, and his serve made a big contribution to his trigger, successful 79% of his first-serve factors all through the match.
Though they’re by no means related when it comes to recreation type, a few of Bublik’s drop photographs and chips have been Federer-esque, and out of doors the antics you typically see from him on courtroom, he has a really full recreation. There have been even a few half SABRs from him.
I additionally assume Draper performed nicely and might’t be too dissatisfied. He fought arduous in that final recreation, very almost breaking again, and a few of his defensive play was very spectacular. Bublik was simply too good.
Generally in life, there’s just one probability, and I had a sense that that was mine, and I couldn’t let it slip. Standing right here, it’s the most effective second of my life, interval. Bublik on his win.

Jannik Sinner (1) def Andrey Rublev (17) 6-1 6-3 6-4
Jannik Sinner powered into the Roland Garros quarter-finals on Monday, defeating Andrey Rublev 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 in a commanding efficiency on Courtroom Philippe-Chatrier.
Pre-match, I figured Rublev wouldn’t have the ability to disrupt Sinner within the slightest, and that’s the way it panned out.
Rublev opened aggressively as he all the time does, incomes two break factors within the first recreation, however Sinner responded decisively, saving each with regular baseline play and happening to dominate the 30-minute first set.
The best way Rublev performs will all the time permit a participant to construct rhythm, and except the Russian can overpower them from the baseline, he doesn’t have some other actual method to win factors. No actual web play, no drop photographs, no slices, no selection.
Overpowering Sinner just isn’t doable, as he strikes too nicely and the best way he hits the ball, even out within the corners, fully neutralises Rublev’s aggressive type, permitting him to counter with punishing winners from each wings.
Sinner now faces Bublik, and I feel the Kazakh will supply extra resistance, as he has a extra different recreation. Can he keep centered over 5 units in opposition to Sinner’s precision? That is still to be seen, but when he dials within the dropshot like he did in the present day in opposition to Draper, he can at the very least take a look at out Sinner’s legs operating ahead.
