Elina Avanesyan shocked Qinwen Zheng in the women's third round on Saturday, while Alexander Zverev barely made it to the men's fourth round in the 2024 Roland Garros (French Open).

Avanesyan, the 21-year-old from Russia, eliminated the Chinese women's world no. 7 Zheng 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (10-6) in their third-round clash.

She will take on Italian Jasmine Paolini in the fourth round.

The men's world no. 4, Zverev, survived a four-hour third-round battle against Dutch Tallon Griekspoor -- 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (10-3).

"Wow, I feel incredible. It was an incredible match, he's an incredible player, he's unbelievably dangerous," said Zverev. "I always struggle against him. I don't like to play him. All the credit to him, for taking it all the way. One or two points, here or there, what a fighter."

Zverev will face Danish Holger Rune in the next round.
