The field has been whittled down, and now only the elite remain in contention for this year's French Open title as Tuesday sees the tournament's quarter-finals get underway.

Roger Federer and Andy Murray were among those to take their places in the last eight early in Monday's action, while reigning women's champion Maria Sharapova bowed out at the hands of Lucie Safarova.

Prediction: Federer wins in four sets.

 

Lucie Safarova vs. Garbine Muguruza

Lucie Safarova's path to the quarter-finals was by no means a simple one, but the Czech contender showed she can be considered a title possibility after taking down Sharapova on Monday.
