The 2012 French Open has certainly seen no shortage of upsets, surprises, or thrilling finishes. Still, the men's singles competition looks as though it may be coming down to the usual suspects, as two of the top four ranked men's players in the world will face off in one semifinal and the other two members of the top four may very well face off in the other.
On Wednesday at the Roland Garros, the second day of both the women's and the men's quarterfinals will take place and the semifinals will be set by the end of the day.
In the first women's quarterfinal, No. 2 Maria Sharapova takes on Kaia Kanepi. In the second quarterfinal, No. 4 Petra Kvitova will face off against Yaroslava Shvedova.
On the men's side, No. 2 Rafael Nadal will try to advance to the semis over No. 12 Nicolas Almagro, while No. 4 Andy Murray takes on No. 6 David Ferrer.
Play will be broadcast from 8:00 a.m. ET until 1:00 p.m. ET on ESPN 2. Coverage then switches over to the Tennis Channel from 1:00 p.m. ET until 7:00 p.m. ET.
