5 – Dominic Thiem will aim to reach his fifth Grand Slam quarter-final when he meets French hope Gael Monfils on Monday. Three of the Austrian’s four prior appearances in the quarter-finals have come at Roland-Garros, with last year’s US Open the only other major he has progressed as far.

10 – Novak Djokovic stands to add to a historic list of firsts today when he meets German Jan-Lennard Struff. Should the Serb prevail he would be come the first man to reach 10 consecutive quarter-finals at Roland-Garros.

13 – The number of times Madison Keys has reached the second week from her past 17 Grand Slams, following her run to the Australian Open semi-finals in 2015. Her win-loss record over that period stands at 56-16, a 77.8 per cent success rate in matches at the majors. 

47 – The number of aces Alexander Zverev has notched to reach the fourth round, the third highest of men left in the singles draw. The No.5 seed will look to reach back-to-back quarter-finals at a major for the first time in his career when he meets ninth seed Fabio Fognini on Monday.

95 – Polish 18-year-old Iga Swiatek has cracked 95 winners to reach her maiden fourth round at a Grand Slam. The world No.104 will look to join fellow teenager Marketa Vondrousova in the quarter-finals and become the first Polish woman to do so since Agnieszka Radwanska six years ago.

2001 – The last time two American women aged 20 or younger reached the fourth round at a major when Venus Williams (then 20) reached the semi-finals and Serena Williams (then 16) reached the fourth round of the Australian Open. Sofia Kenin and Amanda Anisimova have matched the feat at this year’s Roland-Garros.

2012 – The last time a women’s qualifier reached the last eight at Roland-Garros when Yaroslava Shvedova advanced as far. Moldovan-born Spaniard Aliona Bolsova could do so if she finds a way past American Anisimova.
