Day 5 of the 2023 Western & Southern Open will see players fighting for a place in the quarterfinals.
Top seed Carlos Alcaraz will get another crack at Tommy Paul after the latter knocked him out of last week's Canadian Open. Novak Djokovic, who's looking to displace the Spaniard from the top of the rankings, will face his old rival Gael Monfils.
Iga Swiatek brushed aside Danielle Collins 6-1, 6-0 to set up a third round date against Qinwen Zheng. Sloane Stephens will take on fellow Grand Slam champion Marketa Vondrousova for a spot in the last eight.
Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev will rekindle their rivalry as they're due to clash in the third round as well. Stefanos Tsitsipas, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Taylor Fritz, and Jessica Pegula are some of the other big names in action on Thursday.
