The Roland-Garros quarter-finals begin on Tuesday, June 6, on the Philippe-Chatrier court.

Karolina Muchova (34th in the world), who was playing her first quarter at Porte d’Auteuil, won against the 2021 finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, fallen to 333rd place in the world. On the Central, it is now the highly anticipated match between the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, back to her best level after giving birth to her first child, and the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, world number 2, which takes place with a backdrop of background the war in Ukraine.

The double winner of the Parisian Grand Slam, Novak Djokovic, will then be on the program. He will be pitted against ATP-ranked 11th-ranked Karen Khachanov before a tantalizing night session between world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greek has never beaten the Iberian in four duels.
