During their third-round match at the French Open, Frances Tiafoe posed a number of challenges to Alexander Zverev. Tiafoe dominated the first set and even broke twice in the third and fourth sets. However, Zverev displayed impressive resilience and overcame these challenges to win a crucial four-set victory with a score of 3-6, 7-6, 6-1, 7-6. The former world #2 ended his exasperating six-match losing streak (0-6) against top-20 opponents in 2023 by defeating Frances Tiafoe in the third round. His focus will now be on breaking the unfortunate trend of finishing in the round of 16 at high-profile tournaments this year.
In the third round, Grigor Dimitrov was fortunate because Daniel Altmaier had eliminated Jannik Sinner in a gruelling five-set match in the second round. This result cleared half of Dimitrov’s path, and he finished the other half with a commanding straight-set victory over Altmaier. He has yet to lose a set in the French Open, which is impressive, and he has only allowed his opponents to win more than four games in a set once. The Bulgarian has only reached the round of 16 once in his previous 12 appearances at the French Open. This occurred in 2020, when he advanced to that stage without dropping a single set.

Alexander Zverev has a 3-1 lead (1-0 on clay). While the German is generally thought to be more solid and consistent than his Bulgarian counterpart, these qualities have been noticeably absent from his game since his return from injury. As a result, Dimitrov is now in contention with a slim chance of success.
