On Sunday, four Russians had their fights. But only half of them made it to the quarterfinals.
At the clay-court Grand Slam tournament in Paris on Sunday, June 4, the fourth round began. There were 8 matches: 4 for men in the top half of the grid and for women in the bottom half. The world’s first racket Carlos Alcaras, 22-time slam winner Novak Djokovic, Australian Open champion Arina Sobolenko had their duel. The last four tennis players from Russia also performed that day, and not all of them went further. But first things first! Let’s take a look at the layouts, schedule and tournament grids.
Results of the 8th day. June 4, Sunday
Game day was opened by Karen Khachanov, who fought Andrei Rublev’s offender in the previous round, Italian Lorenzo Sonego. Karen missed the first set, but then picked up her game and dealt with the opponent in four sets. Khachanov is the third consecutive TBSH to reach at least the quarterfinals. In the intermediate ATP rankings, he has already entrenched himself in 10th place, and now only Francisco Serundolo, Grigor Dimitrov and Yoshihito Nishioka can theoretically move him from this position, and only in the event of a title. But if the Russian wins in the next round, he will be guaranteed a place in the top ten based on the results of the “RG”.

In women on Sunday, three Russians played in four matches, with only Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova able to go further. During the tournament, she three times improved her position 333 from her in the ranking and currently it is 111. In the case of the next victory, Anastasia will break into the top 60. But two other Russians lost that day. Elina Avanesyan did not cope with the Czech Karolina Muchova, and Daria Kasatkina – with the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.
