French Open 2015 Schedule: Replay TV Coverage, Live Stream for Saturday's Draw

Daniel RogersMay 30, 2015

Following a relatively easy third round for No. 2 and No. 4 seeds Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych on Friday—Federer won in straight sets against Damir Dzumhur, and Berdych won in four against Benoit Paire—Saturday started off similarly for some of the biggest stars in the sport.

With both Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in early matches, a lot of the action was over quickly at Roland Garros for the top seeds, with both stars moving on to the fourth round in straight sets.

There are a number of matches still left to play Saturday before things wrap up with No. 1 seed Serena Williams taking on Victoria Azarenka. Visit RolandGarros.com for highlights and updates from the tournament or watch the rest of the day's action on the following channels or websites.

Notable Early Results from Saturday

Novak Djokovic dispatches Thanasi Kokkinakis

At this early stage in the tournament, it would have been one of the greatest upsets in the history of tennis to see the world's top-ranked player pushed in a match, let alone ousted from the tournament. As such, the dominant performance from Djokovic wasn't much of a surprise.

Heading into Paris as the No. 1 seed, the Serbian was expected to have an easy time until the field slimmed a little bit, and against Kokkinakis, it felt like he barely broke a sweat.

Winning the match 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, Djokovic advanced to the round of 16 and has yet to drop a set in each of the first three rounds. While things won't be as easy moving forward for last year's runner-up, he looks to be on course for another final in the hopes of securing his career Grand Slam.

Petra Kvitova has found her stride

Coming off back-to-back close calls in the first two rounds—both three-set battles—Petra Kvitova waltzed through her third-round matchup with relative ease.

A 6-3, 6-2 win against No. 30 seed Irina Begu has Kvitova into the round of 16 and one step closer to claiming her first French Open title.

A two-time winner at Wimbledon, Kvitova has proved she has what it takes to win on the biggest stage but has never made it past the semifinals at Roland Garros. If she can keep playing like she did Saturday, 2015 could be the year she breaks through.

Andy Murray won't be ignored

While most people are projecting the men's singles draw to culminate in a Federer vs. Djokovic matchup, Andy Murray is the best bet to throw a wrench into those plans.

Rafael Nadal always looms large as well, but Murray has been phenomenal thus far in Paris, with Saturday's straight-sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 win against No. 29 seed Nick Kyrgios standing out as another strong performance.

Having dropped only one set in the second round so far, Murray could prove to be a dangerous foe and ride his form to his first French Open title.
