12h48 : Who said that there were no more French people at Roland-Garros? Jenny Lim, 17, is also on the track on court n°13 once morest the Czech Struplova. 1-1 currently.
12h44 : Les Bleues are not there to string pearls. 2-0 for Garcia / Mladenovic on the Simonne-Mathieu.
12:42 p.m .: Leylah Fernandez sets foot in the quarter-finals! Anisimova struggled, but the Canadian pocketed the first set 6-3. As in the previous round, the American will have to run behind the score.
12h40 : And a fourth, with a powerful forehand!
12:39 p.m .: Amanda Anisimova dismisses three set points on her opponent’s service! Then maybe…
12h35 : Blue on court n°9: Sarah Rakotomanga, who benefits from a wild card in the girls’ singles table, is hard at work once morest the American Blokhina. ALLLEEEZZZZZZ
12h32 : Among the juniors, it goes for William Jucha. The Frenchman took out Van Schalkwyk 7-6, 6-2. We start the day very well.
12h28 : On the Simonne-Mathieu, it’s already folded for Granollers and Zeballos, winners 6-1, 6-1. Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic will be able to enter the arena!
12h26 : The American enters her match following a quarter of an hour in the fog. She clears a first break and comes back to 4-1.
12h24 : On the Chatrier, it scrolls! 4-0 for Leylah Fernandez, Anisimova does not exist at the moment.
12:21 p.m .: The fifth set point is the good one! Sasnovich commits the fault and Trevisan takes the first set following 1h13.
12h19 : Still missed for Trevisan! 10-10 in this endless tie-break.
12h14 : The Italian spoils by sending the ball in turn into the net… We have already been playing for almost 1h10.
12h13 : Sasnovich sends his forehand into the net, Trevisan gets a second set point.
12h11 : 6-6 on the Lenglen in the number of games, and 6-6 in the tie-break. IT’S STRAINED
11h52 : Well, it starts nicely on this Sunday morning but when it really starts there it’s going to be on fire. This little Djoko-Schwartzman in particular who promises to be, yum yum.
11:34 am : 4-0 now for Granollers and Zeballos who, as a reminder, eliminated two French pairs in the two previous rounds, Humbert/Lestienne then Mannarino/Olivetti.
11h31 : Sasnovich had to face break points once more, but she hung on and picked it up at 3-3.
11h27 : Small hook by Simonne-Mathieu to see that the pair Granollers / Zeballos already leads 3-0.
11h24 : And redebreak it! We can go on like this for a long time…
11:18 a.m. : And unbreak it! We start on a good basis.
11h16 : Break Trevisan, already!
11h14 : We’ll talk regarding it when the time comes, but it also works for kids, in girls’ singles and in boys’ singles. We will notably find Gabriel Debru, who had shown great things during the qualifiers for the men’s singles.
11:10 a.m .: Speaking of doubles, we have French people left! Caroline Garcia and Kiki Mladenovic will play in match 2 on the Simonne-Mathieu once morest the pair Doi / Tomljanovic. Immediately following, Clara Burel and Hugon Gaston will take the baton for the 2nd round of the mixed doubles.
Granollers/Zeballos – O’Mara/Withrow
Matos/Vega – Gille/Fly
Puetz/Venus – Arevalo/Rojer
Mcnally/Zhang – Kostyuk/Ruse
11:05 a.m. : And while waiting for the start of the Chatrier program (from 12 noon, with Fernandez – Anisimova), we also have a double to eat!
11h02 : The first round of 16 of the day, therefore: Martina Trevisan vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich. The Italian is quite impressive, three wins in straight sets, only 14 games left on the way. But his opponent brought down Raducanu and Kerber, sorry. Difficult match to read, but I would put a penny on Martina (it’s worth what it’s worth).
Novak Djokovic will face Diego Schwartzman, seeded n°15, to raise the cursor a little more before a possible quarter-final once morest Nadal. In the women’s draw, the young Leylah Fernandez (19) and Coco Gauff (18) will try to continue to fine their elders.
“Are you already licking your chops? We’ll be there at 11 a.m.!
