World number four, Stefanos Tsitsipas, will take on 80th-ranked Sebastian Ofner in the fourth round of Roland Garros on Sunday. The winner will head to a quarter-final showdown against either world number one, Carlos Alcaraz, or the Italian, Lorenzo Musetti. Tsitsipas will be appearing in the round of 16 for the fifth time in his career after he eased past Diego Schwartzman in his last match. That win followed solid performances against Roberto Carballes Baena and Jiri Vesley in the opening rounds, dropping just one set in those matches. The Greek has been in good form this year. He reached the Australian Open final at the start of the year and has maintained a solid clay court record of 16-4. 

Meanwhile, Ofner's journey here in France continued after he managed to overcome Fabio Fognini in a hard-fought five-set encounter on Friday. The qualifier's run here has seen him break into the top 100 since entering the 118th tournament, and he has picked up a couple of notable scalps at this point. In his main draw opening match, Ofner overcame the American Maxime Cressy and arguably looked even better against Sebastian Korda in the following round. He beat both of those top-50-ranked players in straight sets, and only lost his first set of the tournament in the last round. This already marks the Austrian's best Grand Slam event performance, surpassing his third-round appearance at Wimbledon in 2017. Can he overcome the world number four in this one?
