Novak Djokovic prepares for Roland Garros

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Johanna Konta are all in action on day six at the French Open on what is set to be a busy day at Roland Garros.

Reigning champion Nadal features in the fourth match on Court Philippe-Chatrier as he comes up against seeded opposition for the first time at this year’s tournament in David Goffin.

Federer meanwhile is second-up on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, with the Swiss facing Norway’s Casper Ruud for a place in the fourth round.

The women’s draw dominates early proceedings on the main show court though as second seed Karolina Pliskova takes on Croatian Petra Martic, while past champion Garbine Muguruza takes on ninth seed Elina Svitolina in one of the ties of the day.

British interests will hope to continue too as Konta returns for her third-round encounter against Viktoria Kuzmova, which comes as the final match on Court Simonne-Mathieu and could well roll into Saturday if bad light becomes an issues.
