    My only 'likely' champion is Alex Zverev.

    He has almost got over the line before, he has been a Grand Slam runner-up on three occasions - including here at Roland Garros - he's phenomenally consistent on tour, he is the second seed here and he's the world number three.

    So he has a very, very good chance of finally winning that first Grand Slam.

    De Jong comes through with a neat volley at the net to hold, before a relieved wipe of his forehead.

    A Spaniard called Rafa in the latter stages of the French Open? We've heard that one before...

    Rafael Jodar, the 19-year-old and the 27th seed at this year's event, is through to the quarter-finals.

    He was two sets down against fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, but fought back to win it in five and reach his first ever Grand Slam quarter-final.

    Carreno Busta was struggling with a shoulder injury at times during the match.

    Next, he'll play the winner of the Zverev-De Jong match that's ongoing on Court Philippe Chatrier.
