Recap
Djokovic was calm and calculated in his dismantling of Struff, who became the fourth player in succession to fall against the Serb in straight sets at Roland Garros.
The top seed has rarely been tested so far in his search to again hold all four majors simultaneously, and sportswriter Ben Rothenberg was underwhelmed by the dominance of the favourites:
Struff failed in his only attempt at breaking Djokovic and won just 21 percent of receiving points, per Roland Garros. However, a quarter-final encounter against either ninth seed Fognini or Zverev promises to offer more fireworks.
Nishikori qualified for his third French Open quarter-final after a raucous ending to his duel against Paire, coming back from 1-4 and 3-5 down in the fifth set to seal a mighty comeback, via Eurosport UK:
The No. 7 seed led 6-2, 6-7 (8), 6-2 when their match was stopped on Sunday, and Paire looked to have locked down what would have been his first French Open quarter-final appearance.
Nishikori had other plans and unleashed a four-game spree to turn the tide, although a one-day turnaround before facing 11-time champion Nadal doesn't bode well for his chances of going further.
Keys, 24, and Barty, 23, each showed signs of encouragement ahead of their quarter-final clash and lived up to expectations in their fourth-round matchups against Siniakova and Kenin, respectively.
Tennis writer Jose Morgado hyped a clash between two young players enjoying the best majors form of their careers to date:
Keys suffered a break at the beginning of the second set but responded instantly and barged her way to just her second straight-sets win of the tournament.
Kenin couldn't capitalise on Saturday's surprise 6-2, 7-5 win against Serena Williams and limped over the line against Barty, where she made a critical 11 unforced errors in the decisive third set.
