MATCH OF THE DAY

Venus Williams (USA) v Elina Svitolina (UKR) [9]

Venus Williams reached the French Open finals in 2002 but was never able to lift the trophy at Roland Garros in a career spanning two decades. On Sunday she takes on ninth seed Elina Svitolina, who is expected to beat her. At 38, this could be Williams' last chance to make a mark in France before she retires and she will be relishing the occasion.

POTENTIAL UPSET OF THE DAY

Lorenzo Sonego (ITA) v Roger Federer (SUI) [3]

Roger Federer returned to clay in a surprise move, after the 37-year-old Swiss appeared to have extended his career with a decision to be more selective over his tournament participation. He last played in the French Open in 2015, and the hugely demanding surface, over a potentially draining five sets, could give Italian Lorenzo Sonego the chance of pulling off an upset.

BRITWATCH

There are no British players in action on Sunday, but Jo Konta, Kyle Edmund, Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans are due to play later in the tournament.
