Here's all you need to know about the men's singles fourth-round match:
Alexander Zverev, who is facing a trial over domestic abuse allegations, survived a five-set thriller against Tallon Griekspoor in the third round. The German fourth seed trailed by a double break at 4-1 in the deciding set, but pulled off a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (10-3) win over the 26th seed from the Netherlands.
Zverev, 27, started his latest clay court sojourn with a victory over 14-time champion Rafael Nadal [6-3, 7-6(7-5), 6-3] then beat David Goffin [7-6(7-4), 6-2, 6-2]. Now, the reigning Italian Open champion will play a fourth-round match for the seventh successive time -- winning the last three.
But in 13th seed Holger Rune, Zverev will face probably the biggest challenge yet here. The 21-year-old Dane dismissed Briton Dan Evans [6-4, 6-4, 6-4] then outsmarted Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (10-7). In the third round, the 21-year-old beat Jozef Kovalik of Slovakia 7-5, 6-1, 7-6(7-2).
Competing in the fourth French Open tournament, a win tonight will help the youngster qualify for his third successive quarter-final.
Zverev and Rune have met only once in their pro career with the latter winning 6-3, 6-2 at BMW Open 2022 in Munich, also a clay event. Rune was only 18 then.
