Borg poised for fifth French Open title as King falls
At Roland Garros Bjorn Borg advanced to the quarterfinals by crushing Balazs Taroczy 6-2 6-2 6-0 while Billie Jean King was upset by Dianne Fromholtz 6-1 6-4. Guillermo Vilas illness delayed his match with Manuel Orantes and sparked a postponement and a dispute over whether Vilas should default. Harold Solomon defeated Brian Gottfried 6-0 6-1 6-3 to reach quarterfinals where Borg, Solomon, Connors, and Gerulaitis would vie for the title. Defending champion Chris Evert Lloyd and Kathy Jordan eyed a semifinal spot. Virginia Ruzici topped Wendy Turnbull to set a Fromholtz-Ruzici semi.
