Two of the four men left in the field at Roland Garros who have won a Grand Slam title will face each other on Day 5: Roger Federer vs. Marin Cilic. Federer, of course, owns 20major singles championships, tied with Rafael Nadal for the men’s record.

Cilic owns one, from the 2014U.S. Open. They meet at Court Philippe Chatrier in the second round. That will be followed there by Nadal against Richard Gasquet in the night session.
