Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.

On that day in 2015, the top seed was upset by 6-foot-11 Ivo Karlovic. Undeterred, Djokovic has reached the final in all 15 tournaments that he has played thereafter, the longest finals streak since Roger Federer appeared in 17 straight from to June 2005 to August 2006. Djokovic would inch within one of Federer’s mark with a win over No. 8 seed Leonardo Mayer on Thursday and another in the semi-finals on Friday. Like Djokovic, Rafael Nadal was eliminated early at the 2015 Qatar ExxonMobil Open, suffering a first-round loss to qualifier Michael Berrer. Unlike Djokovic, Nadal is looking to end – not extend – a streak this week. The No. 2 seed has gone 18 hard-court tournaments since winning his last title on the surface, which came at Doha in 2014. In Thursday’s quarter-finals, Nadal faces 79th-ranked Andrey Kuznetsov, whom he defeated in straight sets at Roland Garros last May.
