Wawrinka, though, has been pushed, particularly in his five-hour victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round. Rafael Nadal vs. Kei NishikoriThe so-called Big Three have moved through this French Open with considerable ease through four rounds, dropping only one set (Rafael Nadal) between them and only once needing a tiebreaker to win a set (Federer).
