There will be two French representatives in the round of 16 at Roland Garros.

After Caroline Garcia, Fiona Ferro managed to qualify on Saturday.

On the other hand, his compatriot Clara Burel sees his career stopped.

On the men's side, Novak Djokovic held his rank as world number one by qualifying easily.

The day after Hugo Gaston's feat against Swiss Stan Wawrinka, French tennis had a mixed day.

Only one of the two French women walking on clay this Saturday managed to qualify for the knockout stages of the French Open.

Fiona Ferro, 23 years old and 49th player in the world, defeated the Romanian Patricia Maria Țig, 59th in the world, in three sets (7-6, 4-6, 6-0).

She will face the American Sofia Kenin, 6th in the world and winner of the Australian Open in early February, for a place in the quarterfinals.

After a good run in the tournament, Clara Burel must however bow to the Chinese Zhang Shuai (7-6, 7-5).

There will therefore be two French women in the round of 16: Caroline Garcia, will meet the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina on Sunday.

In men, the world number 1 has only let five small games.

Novak Djokovic was not disturbed by the downpour which suddenly interrupted his third round match against Colombian Daniel Elahi Galan, swept away 6-0, 6-3, 6-2.

In the round of 16, he will face Russian Karen Khachanov (16th), striker of Chilean Cristian Garin (19th) earlier in the day.
