2. Frances Tiafoe
Tennis fans want Frances Tiafoe to get on a roll and go deep in a Grand Slam. We have not seen it since the 2022 US Open.

Tiafoe won his second round match in straight sets. Next up is a meeting with compatriot Sebastian Korda.
3. Sebastian Korda
Korda ousted fellow American Jenson Brooksby in straight sets. He will meet Tiafoe in the third round. The pair have split their six previous meetings. The two have never played each other in a Grand Slam, and Tiafoe won the lone match on clay at Estoril in 2022.

5. Amanda Anisimova
It’s hard to believe that Amanda Anisimova is only 23 years old. She has been around the WTA Tour for years and was a 2019 French Open semifinalist.

Her Doha win during the Middle Eastern swing of the season gave her more confidence.
Next up for Anismova is Denmark’s Clara Tauson in a third round match scheduled for Friday.
6. Bernarda Pera
30-year-old Bernarda Pera turned professional in 2014. Her best French Open finish is in the fourth round in 2023. She defeated Caroline Garcia in straight sets in the first round and won an intense three-set match over Donna Vekic on Wednesday.
