The second Grand Slam of the 2022 season is taking place, live in Paris, and all eyes are on Roland-Garros to see which stars of the tennis world are going to shine the brightest in their matches at the French Open. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek eyes a place in the fourth round while Daniil Medvedev has a tricky match against world No. 31 Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday.

Day seven at the 2022 French Open will see Iga Swiatek, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas all in action.

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will be looking to make it 31 wins in a row when she takes on Danka Kovinic first on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The 2020 French Open champion is yet to drop a set at Roland-Garros this year, beating Lesia Tsurenko and Alison Riske en route to the third round.

Daniil Medvedev will play highly-rated Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic on Court Suzanne-Lenglen. Also on the same court, Stefanos Tsitsipas will be in action against Sweden's Mikael Ymer.

The night match on Court Philippe-Chatrier will see home favourite Hugo Gaston take on rising star Holger Rune.

French wild card Leolia JeanJean, who knocked out eighth seed Karolina Pliskova in the previous round, and seventh seed Aryna Sabalenka also take to the court on Saturday.

Highlights: Swiatek swats aside Riske to maintain winning run

TOP MATCH - Miomir Kecmanovic v Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev has made it known that clay is his least favourite surface and he will have a tough test against Kecmanovic in their first ever professional meeting.

Kecmanovic, a former junior No. 1, has enjoyed a rapid rise up the rankings having enjoyed quarter-final runs at Indian Wells and Miami in March. The 22-year-old was 69 in the world at the start of 2022 and is now the world No. 31.

The 2021 US Open champion Medvedev, who has never gone beyond the quarter-final stage at Roland-Garros, could be in for a very difficult afternoon on Suzanne-Lenglen.

POTENTIAL UPSET - Mikael Ymer v Stefanos Tsitsipas

Mikael Ymer produced a fine four-set win over Great Britain's Dan Evans in the second round and will come up against Tsitsipas who took four hours to beat Zdenek Kolar in four sets on Thursday night.

Ymer has dropped just the one set so far at Roland-Garros. He has not dropped more than four games in a set other than in the one conceded against Evans and his freshness could be the key to overcoming the fourth seed on Suzanne-Lenglen.
