Alexander Zverev staged a late comeback to beat Damir Dzumhur in a five-set showdown and book his place in the fourth round of the 2018 French Open on Friday, edging the final two sets to triumph 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (3), 7-5.

She'll face Madison Keys, who beat Japanese star Naomi Osaka 6-1, 7-6 (7) to move on, with the American also yet to drop a set at this year's tournament.

Recap

If energy conservation was Zverev's plan at Roland Garros, he's going about it the wrong way after playing out his second successive five-set match in Paris, following his victory over Serb Dusan Lajovic in the second round.

After enjoying such a meteoric streak of form in 2018, it looked as though Dzumhur held the keys to his exit when leading 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, but Zverev held his nerve and can now seal a piece of history, per Gracenote Olympic:

The tiebreak win to make it two sets apiece in the fourth proved to be a turning point for Zverev, 21, who followed up by breaking Dzumhur in each of his opening two service games in the fifth.

The youngster has cut out a difficult path for himself, but he remains in contention in Paris and made sure to thank the crowd after such a memorable match, per Roland Garros' official Twitter account: "The crowd was unbelievable. Thanks to everyone for coming out. It's the first time I've won on this court and in this way. So hopefully many more to come."

Svitolina's exit provided the biggest shock of the earlier schedule, as Buzarnescu quietly went about continuing her dominant run at Roland Garros. The spotlight on the Romanian is now a lot brighter.

WTA Insider gave some context as to just what a surprise it was to see Ukrainian Svitolina leave the lineup so early after her 6-3, 7-5 defeat:

It was less unexpected to see Keys beat Osaka to a place in the fourth round, although few might have presumed she'd get off to such a fast-tempo start en route to her 6-1, 7-6 (7) victory.

Dimitrov's departure came against Verdasco, and the Bulgarian's career-long troubles on the clay of Roland Garros endured, via Tennis TV:

Things don't get much easier for Verdasco regardless of his foe, with Djokovic and Bautista Agut each assured to pose stiff competition.
