French Open glance: Djokovic, Osaka, Halep, Serena on Day 7

PARIS (AP) — A quick look at the French Open:

LOOKAHEAD TO SATURDAY

Top-seeded Novak Djokovic carries a 24-match Grand Slam winning streak into his third-round match against Salvatore Caruso, a qualifier from Italy who is ranked 147th. There’s no doubt who the favorite is, of course. Not only has Djokovic never lost to someone ranked as low as Caruso at a major, but Caruso had never won a match at a major until this week. Two younger contenders are in action: No. 4 Dominic Thiem, last year’s runner-up, faces Pablo Cuevas, while No. 5 Alexander Zverev, a quarterfinalist in 2018, meets No. 30 Dusan Lajovic. The women’s schedule features No. 1 Naomi Osaka, defending champion Simona Halep and 23-time major title winner Serena Williams, who plays against 20-year-old American Sofia Kenin.

SATURDAY’S FORECAST

Partly cloudy. High of 84 (29 Celsius).
