French Open

Britain's Francesca Jones did win her debut, though.

Novak Djokovic is out losing to Joao Fonseca 3-2 and Djokovic was 2 sets up to , against the guy who looks like he could be the third player to join Sinner and Alcaraz as the third best player in the world

Gauff another big name to lose.

Four time champ Iga Swiatek is out after losing 7-5 6-1 to Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine.
This sets up an all Ukrainian quarter final with Elina Svitolina who overcame Belinda Bencic 4-6 6-4 6-0.

I have to say i am really enjoying this French Open , just looking at the other future stars in this tournament after Sinner was knocked out and Alacraz wasn't in it at all , as much i liked the Federer,Djokovic,Nadal and Murray era i think this is just as good in my opinion , we really are finally seeing the young stars come through now.

And thanks to the next gen tournaments which i didn't think would help to be honest and it really has helped.

Kostyuk beat Svitolina to reach a 1st semi-final, where she'll play Mirra Andreeva, who finally ended the surprise triumph of Sorana Cirstea.

So Mensik beats Fonseca in Straight Sets i am surprised by that i thought Fonseca would be the guy to join Alacraz and Sinner as the Big 3 but maybe they could both join so we can have a Big 4 again which is what i want to see again really.

It did seem like Fonseca might be the man to block Zverev, but he's got plenty of time for greatness yet.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka collapsed from a set and 4-1 in front to a 3-6 7-5 6-0 defeat to Diana Shnaider.

The shocks have been the story of this tournament.

Felix Auger-Aliassime also bit the dust.
