Sunday sees 28th seed Joao Fonseca attempt to beat another top player. In the last 16 at Roland Garros, the conqueror of Novak Djokovic is up against 15th seed Casper Ruud. His opponent has been on solid form on clay this year and our prediction is that Ruud will end the run of Fonseca.
Either Jakub Mensik or Andrey Rublev will be faced in the last eight of this outdoor clay court Grand Slam.
Friday saw Joao Fonseca beat the former Roland Garros champion and that win over Djokovic took him to round four at Roland Garros for the first time. He has won nine of the 15 clay court matches he has played this year. Quarter-finals in both Monte Carlo and Munich have been reached.
At Roland Garros, Fonseca has also beaten Luka Pavlovic and Dino Prizmic. His last two matches have both gone to five sets.
Casper Ruud has twice been the runner-up in this Grand Slam, most recently three years ago. He has a 16-4 record on clay this year with one final reached in Rome. Ruud also got to the last four in Geneva and the Madrid quarter-finals.
Two of his three matches (against Safiullin and Paul) went to a deciding set.
