After a washed out Saturday evening, Rolland Garros had to play catch-up as the previous day’s quota of matches were finished on Day 8. Rafael Nadal continued his rampaging run in the tournament as he trounced compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.

Defending champion Garbine Muguruza was knocked out by Kristina Mladenovic while Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka will face each other in the quarter-final. Kei Nishikori also overcame Korean Hyeon Chung in the first all-Asian meeting in the tournament.
