JAKARTA - The action of the fourth round of the French Open 2025 continued on Monday with the main focus on Novak Djokovic who was chasing the 100th victory at Roland Garros. In addition, top leading players such as Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff are also scheduled to appear.

The UK's public hope now rests on Cameron Norrie and fifth seed Jack Draper. Draper is scheduled against Kazakh's full-style tennis player Alexander Bublik in the evening session.

Djokovic, who has just won his 100th career at the Geneva Open, is now aiming for a new milestone: becoming the second tennis player after Rafael Nadal to reach 100 wins at Roland Garros. The win over Austrian Filip Misolic in the third half was Djokovic's 99th win in the clay tournament, matching his record at the Australian Open, where he has won 10 times.

"I just want to keep going. Every time I step into this field, I play for history," said Djokovic.

However, to surpass Nadal's outstanding record of 112 wins at the French Open, Djokovic is likely to have to keep playing until his 40s. This step was confronted by Cameron Norrie, who impressed after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the first half and now tasted the last 16 for the first time.

"It was a very tough game. Beating Daniil gave me a lot of confidence," said Norrie. "I haven't won a lot lately, so this is a great moment."

However, track record has not taken sides with Norrie. Djokovic has not lost a single set in this tournament, while Norrie has lost five meetings against the Serbian, including in last month's semifinals of the Geneva Open. Their last meeting in Rome in 2023 was also intense, where Djokovic criticized Norrie's attitude in executing a smash towards his body after Djokovic turned around.

Women's Featured Match: Mirra Andreeva Vs Daria Kasatkina

Mirra Andreeva has performed convincingly so far without losing a set. In the third round, the sixth seed from Russia defeated Yulia Putintseva with dominance, winning nine of the last ten games.

However, Daria Kasatkina a Russian-born tennis player who now represents Australia came with high confidence after eliminating the 10th seed Paula Badosa in two straight sets. The two players know each other well because they often train together.

"This match will definitely be exciting because we know each other very well. Maybe it will be tight too," said Andreeva, who wanted to surpass his achievements last year when he reached the semifinals at Roland Garros.

Kasatkina himself once defeated Andreeva in their only previous meeting in Ningbo, in a three-set game full of drama. "Mirra is an amazing player and a very good girl. I think we are quite friends," Kasatkina said. "The game in Ningbo was dramatic at that time. We'll see what happens here. But this is the first time we've met in clay."
