The level goes up another notch. The first quarter-finals of this Roland-Garros 2024 will be played on Tuesday June 4, near Porte d’Auteuil with the majority of favorites there. Iga Swiatek will challenge Marketa Vondrousova while Ons Jabeur will try to reach the last four for the first time in Paris against Coco Gauff. Among the men, Jannik Sinner will have to watch out for Grigor Dimitrov, before a particularly anticipated Alcaraz-Tsitsipas in the night session.
Ons Jabeur at the gates of the semi-finals
A first summit for the Tunisian Ons Jabeur. The number 8 seed wants to ward off fate and reach the final four in Paris for the first time in his career. But, facing her, stands the American Coco Gauff. The third in the world has been confident since the start of the fortnight and she has still not lost a single set in her first four matches. The two players are expected from 11 a.m. on center court to kick off the day.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has a score to settle with Carlos Alcaraz
Last year, the third in the world ended the Athenian’s career at this same stage of the quarters with disconcerting ease, in three sets. This time, he hopes to take his revenge during the night session at Central. He did not digest the Spaniard’s words, believing that his game suited him, and announced it on the microphone as soon as he qualified. But the task promises to be difficult against a player who has always beaten him in five confrontations. In the other men’s match, Grigor Dimitrov (n°10) will have his work cut out against Jannik Sinner (n°2).
Iga Swiatek on her way
Since she escaped the Naomi Osaka trap, Iga Swiatek has left only crumbs to her opponents, notably losing her round of 16 in barely 40 minutes against Anastasia Potapova (6-0, 6-0). The world number 1 will once again have the title against the Czech Marketa Vondrousova (n°5). The latter will try to play her best to return to the semi-finals for the first time since 2019, when she finished as an unfortunate finalist against Ashleigh Barty.
