French Open order of play and day four schedule including Emma Raducanu, Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz
Emma Raducanu will hope to pull off a shock result when she takes to Court Philippe-Chatrier on the fourth day of the French Open.
The 22-year-old came through a fascinating test in the first round to defeat Wang Xinyu 7-5 4-6 6-3 and displayed a range of power shots and deft touches despite being under the weather for most of the match. The win earned her a place in the next round where she takes on Iga Swiatek a five-time grand slam winner who has won four of the last five French Open titles.
Swiatek is the defending champion and swept Rebecca Sramkova aside 6-3 6-3 in her opening game on Monday. She has an unbeaten record against Raducanu and is the heavy favourite to win today.
Elsewhere, the men's singles defending champion Carlos Alcaraz continues his pursuit of another major and precedes Raducanu's match when he takes on Hungary's Fabian Marozsan.
The French Open runs until 8 June. Here's the order of play for day four:

GMB's Richard Madeley reveals horrifying injury live on air after falling over on holiday in France
GOOD Morning Britain anchor Richard Madeley sparked fan concern after returning to the ITV series with a hugely painful injury. The former This Morning frontman, 69, was back on-screen alongside Susanna Reid, 54, for Monday's episode. 6 6 Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm. The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard 's smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk. Others also noted his voice sounded husky and "digitised" amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show. Susanna said: "Richard you better explain," to which he replied: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!" After the pair giggled, he continued: "It's a double fracture of the wrist. "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose. "It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? "And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. "So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes." After issuing a supportive "aww," Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?" The brave host said: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold we just don't think about pain." One ITV viewer took to X to write: "Awww Madeley has an owie." A second put: "Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?" The Sun has gone to GMB for comment. Last week, Ed Balls fronted the show alongside mum of three Susanna. TOUGH TIME The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters. It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel. We were first to report how veteran journalist Richard was facing the axe after crunch talks with telly bosses. In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December. He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay. A source said: 'This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly. it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network's most senior bosses and he's now being kept on in a more part-time role. 'He's got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.' Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan. He had co-hosted ITV's This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001. They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall. But Richard made a shock return to the screen as ITV bosses brought him in as a regular joint presenter on GMB with Susanna. He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role. TV SHAKE UP Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues. Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, leaving Susanna to do it alone. ITV bosses announced that Lorraine, shown on weekdays from 9am to 10am, would air on just 30 out of 52 weeks from next year. GMB will also be extended. 6 6 6
