Day five guide - Selected women's matches
(All times subject to change)
Elena Rybakina (4) vs Linda Noskova
Thursday, 1 June. Time: 10:00
Fourth seed Rybakina will start things off on Court Suzanne Lenglen, where she is up against Noskova, an 18-year-old Czech player at her first tournament at Roland Garros.
Noskova hardly broke a sweat in her victory in the first round over Danka Kovinic, who retired hurt at the start of the second set.
Suggested bets
Set score prediction: Rybakina to win straight sets
Kayla Day vs Madison Keys (20)
Thursday, 1 June, Time: 10am
It will be an all-American affair when 20th-seed Keys take on the 138th-ranked Day on Court Simonne Mathieu.
The 28-year-old Keys didn't have it all her own way in her first round against Kaia Kanepi, winning in three sets, a result which saw her 2023 record improve to 16-7.
Suggested bets
Day to draw first blood and win opener
Keys to start well and win first set
Keys to win tie-breaker in first set
Set score prediction: Keys to win straight sets
Iga Swiatek (1) vs Claire Liu
Thursday, 1 June, Time: 12:45
Another match between a seeded player and one outside the top 100, although this time it's the number one Swiatek against Liu, ranked 102.
Swiatek didn't quite have it all her own way in her first-round win over Cristina Bucsa, twice having to come from a break down, but once she found her footing, it was one-way traffic.
