Now it starts heating up. 

With the third round of the French Open beginning on Friday, many of the better players in the game will square off at Roland Garros. Below, we'll break down a few of the more intriguing matches.

First, though, let's take a look at the schedule. Third-round play on each court will begin at 5 a.m. ET, with each corresponding match to follow. Here is the full list of matches:



Barring any huge letdowns or injuries, the top contenders on each side of the draw—No. 2 seed Andy Murray and No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka for the men; No. 2 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 4 seed Garbine Muguruza and No. 6 seed Simona Halep—should advance.

Murray is 6-0 against his opponent, Ivo Karlovic. Wawrinka is 4-0 all-time against Jeremy Chardy. Radwanska is 4-0 against Barbora Strycova, and Muguruza has won her only match against Yanina Wickmayer. Halep has never faced the 18-year-old Naomi Osaka before, though the 2014 French Open runner-up should be the heavy favorite against Osaka, who is playing in her first French Open.

There are some compelling matchups on tap for Friday, however, with No. 17 seed Nick Kyrgios facing off against No. 9 Richard Gasquet in perhaps the day's most engaging battle.

Gasquet holds a 4-2 advantage in the series and won their only matchup on clay, though Kyrgios won the most recent matchup between the two in Marseille this year. Gasquet has also had his struggles at the French Open and has never advanced past the fourth round, though this is the first time Kyrgios has made it past the first round. 


Kyrgios has been the slightly better player this year, with a title under his belt and trips to the quarterfinals or better in five tournaments. Gasquet has a win of his own but has reached just one other quarterfinal, where he lost to Kyrgios.
