What: Round Three of the French Open

When: Thursday May 29 5AM-7PM ET

Where: Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France

Live Stream: ESPN2 & Tennis Channel

The third round and fifth day of the French Open is under way Thursday and the remaining competition looks to move one step closer on the clay. The men’s tournament is going as planned so far as no major players have been eliminated. Here is your schedule for the fifth day at Roland Garros.

Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem

Richard Gasquet vs. Carlos Berlocq

David Ferrer vs. Simone Bolelli

Gael Monfils vs. Jan-Lennard Struff

Andy Murray vs. Marinko Matosevic

Guillermo Garcia-Lopez vs. Adrian Mannarino

Best Matchup: Rafael Nadal vs. Dominic Thiem

This isn't the best men’s matchup because Thiem can match Nadal on the court, but more that Nadal has the handle the pressure of seeing a number one seed lose the day before. The pressure for Nadal is large as he enters the third round of a tournament he historically owns. Nadal could be due for an upset at the French, but will that honor come from Thiem?

Nadal looks like the best player in the field through two rounds and could continue his warpath through the inferior competition. Clay and Nadal are just a match made in heaven and he will use it to his full advantage possibly all the way to the championship.

Prediction: Nadal, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2
