French Open 2013 Live Stream: Watch Free Online as Nadal, Djokovic and Sharapova Play in the Third Round

An explosive four matches are in store for fans of the French Open with Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic all scheduled to play their third round matches at the Philippe Chatrier on Saturday.

Nadal will be forced to play his second match in two days at Roland Garros, something the Spaniard was clearly not happy about after his second round match was postponed to Friday due to rain.

The seven-time French Open champion was again forced to four sets, this time against Martin Klizan in the second round. Nadal now faces Fabio Fognini in the third round, with the Italian having had an extra day's rest.

However, the trickiest encounter in the third round will be for Djokovic, who takes on Grigor Dimitrov - the man termed as the "Baby Federer."

Dimitrov, seeded 26, said he is looking forward to taking on the world number one on the showpiece court of Philippe Chatrier, in what promises to be a gripping third round match.

"It's a great feeling (to be playing Djokovic), obviously," Dimitrov said. "I'm going to smile coming out on the court. That's the one thing. Smiling won't win the match. 

"It's a great feeling, and again, it's the third round. Definitely on a big court. Good odds, for everything. So, most important thing is just to go out there obviously and just try to enjoy the game.

"And in the same time I'm really looking forward to play at my best. And you never know what's going to happen. But, I don't think I can explain the feeling, going out on court and being able to compete.

"You have more space to run (in the bigger courts). It's more crowded, and I think the whole flare in the air, you just feel it.

"It's a big thing. It's a big court. Obviously things are coming also to you, as well, and you try to do the best you can and obviously brings you good thoughts."

In the women's section, Sharapova, the girlfriend of Dimitrov, faces China's Jie Zheng, after the opening match, which will feature Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka taking on Frenchwoman Alize Cornet.
