the program for the first day

0

Who to succeed Novak Djokovic and Barbora Krejčíková, winners of the French Open last year? Response on June 4 and 5. In the meantime, the Roland-Garros tennis tournament officially begins this Sunday, May 22. Six French people are in the running for the first round of the competition.

The Alcaraz Phenomenon

This Sunday, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, attraction of this edition and great hope of tennis, will challenge the Argentinian Juan Ignacio Londero on the clay courts of Paris. The world number 3, the German Alexander Zverev, will face him the Austrian Sebastian Ofner.

Still on the men’s side, the French Quentin Halys will have the heavy task of starting the Grand Slam tournament by facing the 23rd player in the world, the American John Isner.

Among the ladies, it will not be more obvious for Kristina Mladenovic. The tricolor player will have to get rid of the Canadian Leylah Fernandez, 17th player in the world. The path promises to be just as difficult for Clara Burel: the French faces the Greek María Sákkari, semi-finalist of Roland-Garros and the US Open last year.
