Novak Djokovic takes on Fernando Verdasco, with the Serb trying to reach the last eight for the second year in a row

Verdasco may be a clay-courter at heart but he is well below par against world number seven Djokovic

Djokovic comes through the fourth-round clash 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7-1) and can look forward to facing Igor Andreev next

Former champion Carlos Moya is enjoying a good spell of form and beats fellow veteran Jonas Bjorkman in straight sets

Bjorkman, 35, says farewell for now but he will be back for the doubles, in which he and Max Mirnyi are seeded second

Marcos Baghdatis makes a strong start to his match against Igor Andreev on Court Suzanne Lenglen

But 16th seed Baghdatis loses his way and unseeded Russian Andreev takes the second set 6-1

And there is no way back for Baghdatis as Andreev comes back strongly to reach his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final

Lleyton Hewitt is expected to pose Rafael Nadal's first test of the tournament in their fourth-round match

But Hewitt is blown away by an inspired Nadal in the first two sets and the Spaniard wins 6-3 6-1 7-6

Nadal celebrates his 18th straight win at Roland Garros and goes on to face fellow Mallorcan Carlos Moya in the last eight
