PARIS — Banned from Wimbledon, the Russians seem intent on making the most of the Grand Slam tournament at hand.
One by one, they took to the red clay at the French Open on Saturday, and one by one, they emerged victorious.
Daria Kasatkina and Veronika Kudermetova advanced to the fourth round in women’s singles. Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev did the same in men’s singles, joining their compatriot Karen Khachanov, who was already set to face Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish teen sensation, on Sunday.
Medvedev remains the most intriguing Russian at Roland Garros on multiple levels.
