Fearnley is normally a very consistent player since his rise from 600+ down to the top 50 in a little over a year but wasn't at his best.
Norrie dropped from the top 10 down to 80 but has suddenly found his Mojo again and after beating Medvedev is looking back to his competitive best and always looked the winner yesterday against an out of salts Jacob Fearnley who has had a great year.

First time Norrie has reached the 4th round at the French Open and the first time since 1963 we have two Brits in the last 16.
Will be tough for Norrie against Djokovic but he played well against him in Geneva.
Bublik was unplayable,come on nigh on 30 drop shot winners that Draper could do nothing about.When Draper got closer ,he was blitzed with passing shots.Dont know if Bublik can play as well as this again,but if he does,he can win this.
Story of the tournament looks to be in the women’s draw.
French wildcard Lois Boisson is in the semi final at her first Grand Slam having beaten 3rd seed Pegula and 6th seed Andreeva. She’s playing 2nd seed Coco Gauff in the semi final tomorrow.
She entered the tournament outside the world’s top 150 and has risen almost 100 places in the live rankings, becoming the French no. 1 woman in the process.
Sinner v Alcaraz final at Roland Garros confirms that Jack Draper will reach a new career high of world no. 4 when the next rankings are released after the weekend.

Salisbury and Skupski lost the Mens Double final in 3 sets.
16 year old Hannah Klugman reached the final of the Junior Girls but also lost. Only had limited experience on Clay prior to the tournament so did very well to reach the final.

Norrie v Djokovic 3rd on Phillipe Chatrier
Draper v Bublik 4th on Suzanne Lenglen
Draper won the first set against Bublik
Bublik wins the second set against Draper.
and unless the Kazan born in Russia weakens it looks like Draper's going to lose in 4 sets.
This is more that Bublik is playing brilliantly than Jack playing poorly. Jack trying to hang on in there.
- Djokovic or Musetti reaches the final or
- Tommy Paul wins the tournament
Skupski still going in the Mixed too with his USA partner.
Sinner v Bublik and Zverev v Djokovic tomorrow.
Skupski and Salisbury still in the Mens Doubles.
