With Serena Williams now out of the running, the path is clearing for Swiatek to hold on to her 2020 crown with another victory in Paris.

Things appear more complicated in the men's draw, despite Roger Federer's exit. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are still in with a shout, and Jannik Sinner stands in the Spaniard's path.

Top matches

Rafael Nadal is on course for a collision with Novak Djokovic at some stage, but in order to make that match he'll first have to negotiate past young Jannik Sinner.

Things are easier for world number one Djokovic as he faces another Italian, Lorenzo Musetti.

In the women's draw, Coco Gauff will take on Ons Jabeur as she looks to establish herself as a true contender for Grand Slams.

Potential upset

Sofia Kenin has been impressive as she has moved back up the rankings to become the tournament's fourth seed, but Maria Sakkari - seeded 22nd - has got to the same stage as her opponent, and could provide a stern test.
