Sunday Recap
Having been a little below his usual stunning standards in the previous round against David Goffin, Nadal was back at it again Sunday.
The Spaniard was into his rhythm quickly, making it hard for Londero to establish any sort of momentum in the contest. The victory took his tally of wins at Roland Garros to an extraordinary number; here's the moment the match was wrapped up:
One of the only players in the draw who looks capable of stopping Nadal is Federer, as the veteran Swiss is performing brilliantly on his return to the French Open for the first time in four years.
Mayer had no answer to Federer's blend of finesse and ferocity on the clay, as the Swiss breezed into the next round. Tennis journalist Reem Abulleil noted how quickly the third seed has been dispatching his opponents in Paris:
The AFP Sport account broke down the numbers behind Federer's efforts at the French Open in previous years:
In the match of the day, Tsitsipas and Wawrinka slugged it out in a five-set epic. The latter twice went a set ahead, only to be pegged back by his young opponent; however, at the end of a tense decider, Wawrinka dug deep and was able to seal the victory with a stunning backhand winner down the line.
In the women's draw, the standout performance came from Vondrousova, as she continued her exceptional run at the competition.
The WTA Insider account reflected on what has been an exceptional few months for the youngster:
Her progression also continued a trend of teenage players thriving at the French Open this year:
There was also a win for Johanna Konta, as she comfortably came through her match with Donna Vekic. Having never previously won at Roland Garros before this year's edition, the Briton is now playing as well as any player in the draw.
In the women's bracket on Monday, defending champion Simona Halep will be in action against Iga Swiatek, while men's top seed Novak Djokovic is up against Jan-Lennard Struff.
