Of the 256 men and women who started the French Open, just 16 are left.
Most of the quarterfinalists are big names: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Serena Williams. Others could become big by upsetting the tennis hierarchy to reach and — why not? — even win the finals, almost within touching distance now this coming weekend.
Elina Svitolina is a young player to watch, on unfamiliar ground in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal. The 20-year-old from Ukraine, ranked 21st, is out first on Court Philippe Chatrier against an already established star: 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic.
