Fans try to obtain autographs at the French Open tennis championship at the Roland Garros stadium, on May 29, 2011, in Paris.

More round of 16 matches on the schedule for today.
Li Na will face Petra Kvitova for the second time this season on clay. The result should be the same with the Madrid champion advancing to her first Roland Garros quarterfinal.
Maria Sharapova is going to have to work to beat back Agnieszka Radwanska, but I think she'll ultimately overpower her. Unless, of course, the Rome champion won't reach all those drop shots the one some call the Polish Ninja is sure to shoot her way.
Victoria Azarenka is favored to reach another Slam quarterfinal here, but Ekaterina Makarova has a tendency to upset favored players in Slams.
Maria Kirilenko is quietly doing her thing and now she gets to face one of the tour's most entertaining players in Andrea Petkovic. I have a feeling....

Rafael Nadal won't be troubled at all by Ivan Ljubicic, despite looking as though the defending champ is short on confidence.
The way Gilles Simon is playing, I won't be at all shocked if he sends the two-time runner-up home early this year. Yes, Robin Söderling's got all that power, but Simon has the perfect game to use it against him. Both of Simon's victories have come against the Swede in France. Can he make it three?
In the battle of South Americans, I believe Alejandro Falla will dismiss Juan Ignacio Chela. Five sets, no?
If Andy Murray can't run and Viktor Troicki doesn't choke, the Serbian makes his first Slam quarterfinal. That might happen even if Murray is fast as a gazelle, despite their lopsided 3-0 head-to-head. Troicki just seems inspired to me.
Who you got?
