Djokovic and Sinner flex muscles to reach French Open last 16 as Keys survives
Djokovic eased past Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier to keep his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title on track.
The three-time French Open winner took just over two hours to beat 153rd-ranked Misolic and will next play Britain's 81st-ranked Cameron Norrie for a place in the quarter-finals.
Djokovic played in the night session on centre court with the match overlapping with the UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
"I don't know if it was good for me to get this scheduled slot, because it was interesting, the crowd was really following the (football) game," he said.
"And I could hear once they (PSG) scored, and it was way too many times that they were celebrating. I was like, 'Wow, there's a lot of goals from Paris' and 'What's going on?'. So now I heard it's 5-0, so it's quite a result, to be honest."
The 38-year-old faced only one break point, which he saved, while hitting just 14 unforced errors to 33 winners.
Earlier, world number one Sinner eased through 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 against outclassed world number 34 Jiri Lehecka.
"I think in early stages of Grand Slams it's good that you don't spend so much time, if you have the chance, on court," said the top-seed Italian.
"I don't think there's much I could improve."
Three-time Grand Slam winner Sinner next meets Russia's Andrey Rublev, who advanced after France's Arthur Fils withdrew injured on Friday.
Sinner has been finding his feet since his comeback from a three-month doping ban, reaching the Italian Open final where he lost to reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz.
And the 23-year-old has not dropped a set in Paris -- extending his winning streak at Grand Slam events to 17 matches after titles at the 2024 US Open and Australian Open this January.
British fifth seed Jack Draper proved too strong for Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca, winning 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to progress through to the fourth round, where he will meet Kazakh Alexander Bublik.
Keys 'digs deep'
German third seed Zverev, who lost last year's final to Alcaraz, won 6-2, 7-6 (7/4), 6-1 against Hamburg champion Flavio Cobolli.
"It was quite hot today, and I definitely felt it on the court," said Zverev.
"But, yeah, happy to get through in three sets and not waste extra energy."
In the women's draw, a relieved Keys edged fellow American Sofia Kenin 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.
"I'm happy to be still in the tournament," said the 30-year-old seventh seed after she saved three match points when serving at 4-5 in the decider.
"I really tried to dig deep."
She advanced alongside fellow countrywomen Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Hailey Baptiste.
Keys will again face another compatriot in the next round after Baptiste downed Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-6 (7/4), 6-1.
Keys and Kenin shared breaks early in the decider, before the reigning Australian Open champion broke the 31st seed at 5-5 and then held serve to see out the match.
Former Australian Open champion and Roland Garros runner-up Kenin had led 3-0 in the third set, before the world number eight turned the match round to book her place in the last 16.
World number two Gauff booked her ticket to the same stage with a straight-sets win over Czech Marie Bouzkova.
The 21-year-old won through 6-1, 7-6 (7/3) against the world number 47 and next plays Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 20th seed, who beat fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-2, 6-2.
Third seed Pegula joined her fellow Americans with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Czech Marketa Vondrousova.
Pegula, last year's US Open runner-up, next meets the unheralded Lois Boisson, ranked 361 and the last French player competing in Roland Garros.
Boisson fought through the pain to see off 138th-ranked compatriot Elsa Jacquemot 6-3, 0-6, 7-5.
"Obviously.. going to have some crazy support," said Pegula.
"I think it will be fun. It will be cool to be a part of that."
Earlier, 18-year-old Andreeva eased into the last 16 with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Kazakh Yulia Putintseva.
Sixth seed Andreeva will next play Daria Kasatkina, ranked 17 and now playing for Australia after switching allegiance from her native Russia, who beat Spanish 10th seed Paula Badosa 6-1, 7-5.

World's top two clash for French Open crown as Sabalenka faces Gauff
It will be the first time the world's top two players have met in a women's Grand Slam final since Caroline Wozniacki defeated Simona Halep to win the 2018 Australian Open. Sabalenka and Gauff faced off in the 2023 US Open final, when the Belarusian led by a set before imploding as the then-teenager Gauff claimed her maiden major title. Their head-to-head record is locked at 5-5, although Sabalenka came out on top in their last meeting in the Madrid Open final last month. The top seed will be playing in her first Slam final not on hard courts. "In the past I don't know how many years, we've been able to develop my game so much, so I feel really comfortable on this surface and actually enjoy playing on clay," she said after ending Iga Swiatek's bid for a fourth successive Roland Garros triumph in the semi-finals. "If I'll be able to get this trophy, it's just going to mean the world for us. "I'm ready to go in that final and to fight, fight for every point and give everything I have to give to get the win." Sabalenka snapped Swiatek's 26-match winning run at the French Open with a devastating deciding set that she took 6-0 in just 22 minutes. But the 27-year-old knows it will not be easy against Gauff, who has always been comfortable on clay and has reached at least the quarter-finals in five successive appearances in the tournament. "It was a big match (against Swiatek), and it felt like a final, but I know that the job is not done yet, and I have to go out there on Saturday, and I have to fight and I have to bring my best tennis," added three-time major champion Sabalenka. "I have to work for that title, especially if it's going to be Coco." Gauff hoping to stay 'calm' Gauff is hoping to become only the third player to win two women's Grand Slam titles before the age of 22 since Maria Sharapova added the 2006 US Open to her famous 2004 Wimbledon win. The others are Swiatek and former world number one Naomi Osaka. It will be the 21-year-old's second Roland Garros final after she was left in tears following a heavy defeat by Swiatek in 2022. "Obviously here I have a lot more confidence just from playing a Grand Slam final before and doing well in one," said Gauff. "I think going into Saturday I'll just give it my best shot and try to be as calm and relaxed as possible." Sabalenka will be playing in her seventh WTA final of the year, the most by any player at this stage of a season since Serena Williams -- who beat Sharapova to win the title in Paris -- in 2013. Gauff says Sabalenka's power has helped her build a commanding lead at the top of the world rankings. "I think obviously her ball striking, she can come up with some big shots and big winners pretty much at all areas of the court, so I think her ball striking and also her mentality, she's a fighter as well, she's going to stay in the match regardless of the scoreline." Gauff is in her first Slam final since beating Sabalenka in New York two years ago, having suffered two semi-final losses since, including to Swiatek at Roland Garros 12 months ago.

Sinner faces Djokovic as reigning champion Alcaraz eyes French Open final
Sinner has stormed into the last four without dropping a set while Djokovic impressed in a four-set win over last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals. Alcaraz delivered his most convincing display of the tournament in a ruthless demolition of Tommy Paul in the last round, while the in-form Musetti is targeting his first major final. Top seed and three-time Grand Slam winner Sinner takes on the most successful man ever to play the sport in a rivalry that connects one generation to the next. Sinner, 23, and Djokovic, 38, have split their eight meetings, but the Italian has won four of the last five matches to signal the undeniable power shift in men's tennis. Sinner is riding a 19-match winning run at Grand Slams as he chases a third successive major title, looking to go a step further at Roland Garros than last year's semi-final loss to Alcaraz in five sets. "(Djokovic) has shown now in the last period that he is back to the level," said Sinner. "It's going to be... very, very difficult. He's such an experienced player, 24 Grand Slams. I think that says everything." A week before Roland Garros, Djokovic had not won a single match on clay this year. But after capturing his 100th ATP title in Geneva and arriving at the French Open battle-tested, the 38-year-old Serbian has steadily hit his stride. The three-time Roland Garros champion is two wins away from a record-breaking 25th major to move him out in front of Margaret Court, but he is aware of the magnitude of the task ahead. "Jannik is in tremendous form, and he has been the best player for the last couple of years," said Djokovic. "There is no bigger occasion for me... I just hope that I will be able to physically keep up." Djokovic could become the first man to beat the world's top three players en route to a Grand Slam title after defeating third-ranked Zverev in the last eight, with world number two Alcaraz a possible final opponent. "I think at the moment he's a bit underrated, to be honest," Zverev said after his loss to the Serb. "I think like a lot of people count him out already, but this year he's had wins over Carlos at the Australian Open, he has had a win over me at the French Open. Forget the age. I think for any player, those are pretty good results." Alcaraz continues title defence Alcaraz resumes his burgeoning rivalry with Musetti, hoping to back up victories over the Italian in the Monte Carlo Masters final and Italian Open semi-finals. But Musetti, who also reached the last four in Madrid, is one of the form players on the ATP Tour and has carried that confidence into Roland Garros. "I mean he's playing great," said Alcaraz of his semi-final opponent. "It's going to be a beautiful battle, a beautiful match, I think we're both playing great tennis... it's going to be great for the people to watch as well." The Spaniard is targeting a fifth Grand Slam title this weekend and will be a heavy favourite on Friday despite Musetti's recent good run. Alcaraz has won the last five matches between the two since Musetti took their first meeting in the 2022 Hamburg Open final. He also dished out a straight-sets thrashing to Musetti in the 2023 French Open last 16, losing only seven games. World number seven Musetti will be playing in just his second Grand Slam semi-final, after a last-four defeat by Djokovic at Wimbledon last year. Should he go through and meet Sinner for the title, it would be the first all-Italian men's final at a Grand Slam.

French Open: Loïs Boisson's amazing run comes to an end with semi-final loss to Coco Gauff
Coco Gauff brought a quick end to surprise French hero Loïs Boisson's improbable run at Roland Garros on Thursday, June 5, to set up a final against world number one Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff dominated from the outset on Court Philippe Chatrier and pulled away to a 6-1, 6-2 victory to extinguish the host nation's hopes of a first French Open winner since Mary Pierce in 2000. The 21-year-old Gauff is through to her third Grand Slam singles final. She finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros three years ago before beating Sabalenka to win the 2023 US Open. "Obviously there's still a lot of work to do, but for now I'll enjoy this one and then prepare for the final tomorrow," she said. For Boisson, 22, it marked a disappointing finish to a remarkable first Grand Slam appearance, a year after missing out because of a serious knee injury. The world No. 361 had never played a top-50 opponent before this week. Boisson dumped out two in the top 10 in third-ranked Jessica Pegula and world number six Mirra Andreeva to set up her last-four clash with Gauff. But the American proved a hurdle too far for a player who only had one WTA tour-level win before the start of the tournament. "She played really, really good. She was just too good for me today, and that's it," said Boisson. Boisson's entrance on court drew huge roars from a crowd filling back up after watching Sabalenka knock out three-time reigning champion Swiatek in the first semi-final. Cheers greeted each of Boisson's returns during the warm-up, but it was Gauff who hit the ground running with a break of serve in the opening game. The American second seed followed a comfortable hold with another break to dampen home spirits as the rain began to pound heavily on the closed roof. Boisson passed up three break points in the fourth game before finally getting on the board after Gauff had raced into a 4-0 lead. Eying the French Open crown Gauff wrapped up the set with little fuss though following another break, subduing a partisan crowd that helped spur Boisson past Andreeva in the quarter-finals. After an exchange of holds to begin the second set, Boisson couldn't capitalize on a break point in the third game as she fired a forehand low into the net. Gauff broke for a 3-1 cushion only to hand the advantage right back the next game. With Boisson struggling for the consistency of earlier rounds, Gauff soon seized control again with her fifth break of the match for a 4-2 edge. Boisson could not produce one last act of defying the odds as Gauff pocketed the final two games to seal a comfortable victory. For Saturday's French Open final against Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff said she will try to downplay the magnitude of the event and learn from her runner-up finish at Roland Garros three years ago. She said she is a much more confident player than the teenager beaten in her maiden Grand Slam final. "My first final here I was super nervous, and I kind of wrote myself off before the match even happened," said Gauff. "Obviously here I have a lot more confidence just from playing a Grand Slam final before and doing well in one," Gauff continued, adding, "I think, going into Saturday, I'll just give it my best shot and try to be as calm and relaxed as possible."
