Fabio Fognini. The Italian has never been beyond the quarter-finals of a major before, with his only past time there being in Paris eight years ago. He should be too good for Roberto Bautista Agut to reach the last 16. The Monte Carlo Masters champion would then face either Alexander Zverev or Dusan Lajovic for the chance to equal his best effort at a major. AFP
Naomi Osaka. The world No 1 is on a winning streak of 16 grand slam matches and she showed tremendous character to come from behind to defeat Victoria Azarenka on Thursday. Katerina Siniakova is her latest obstacle in her bid to win a third successive major. AFP
Simona Halep. The women's defending champion is yet to win a match in straight sets this year at Roland Garros. Her tenacity is impressive but she needs to make life easier for herself. 27th seed Lesia Tsurenko will want a strong start to put the Romanian under pressure. AFP
Novak Djokovic. The world No 1 has yet to drop a set and he looks as comfortable on clay at present as when he won the 2016 title. Qualifier Salvatore Caruso was impressive in beating 26th-seed Gilles Simon in the second round but he won't trouble Djokovic. Reuters
Dominic Thiem. The No 4 seed was seen as a real contender for the title beforehand so being taken to four sets by Alexander Bublik in a tough match was not on the menu in the second round. Pablo Cuevas has never been beyond the third round at the French Open before but the Uruguayan is a tough customer on clay and this could be another bruising encounter for Thiem. Reuters
Serena Williams. In relatively quiet fashion the 23-time major winner is making solid progress. She is getting better with every match and it will be a surprise if Sofia Kenin prevents her reaching the last 16. AFP
