French Open order of play and schedule on Day 6 with Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in action

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz return to top billing at the French Open on Friday as the third round gets underway at Roland Garros.

Djokovic kept his focus on the court as he saw off the challenge of Marton Fucsovics to advance in three sets, while Alcaraz needed four sets to defeat Taro Daniel.

Both players remain on a collision course for the semi-finals but the challenge is getting tougher: Djokovic takes on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina while Alcaraz faces Denis Shapovalov.

Aryna Sabalenka will resume her bid for consecutive grand slam titles. The Belarusian’s next opponent is Russian Kamilla Rakhimova.
