French Open order of play and day 5 schedule including Novak Djokovic

Must read

The French Open second round continues and will have to play catch-up after rain wiped out the entire day’s schedule on the outside courts on Wednesday.

Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka headline the action on Court Philippe-Chatrier, which benefited from the roof during an afternoon of rain yesterday, while Gael Monfils is once again in the night session as the veteran Frenchman takes on Italian Lorenzo Musetti.

Djokovic takes on Roberto Carballes Baena as the Serbian continues his bid to win a record 25th grand slam title at Roland Garros, while Alexander Zverev returns to action after defeating 14-time champion Rafael Nadal in his opening match on Monday.

Most of the outside courts will look to complete yesterday’s scheduled matches after only 55 minutes of play were able to be completed.

Here’s the order of play for day 4 of the French Open and everything you need to know,
