Alexander Zverev likes the night at Roland-Garros. For the third consecutive time, the one who is now 27th in the world, will have the honors of the night session, on the Philippe-Chatrier court, Monday June 5 from 8:15 p.m. Facing him, Grigor Dimitrov, whom he has not faced since 2021. Down to 29th in the world, the Bulgarian remains an experienced player and capable of big shots in Grand Slams.
If he released Frances Tiafoe in the previous round, it is a new major challenge that awaits the 26-year-old player. Indeed, and even if he has not yet faced a top seed, Grigor Dimitrov has still not lost a set since the start of the fortnight. For his part, the former world number three will seek to achieve the best performance of his career at Porte d’Auteuil, he who has never passed the round of 16 in Paris.
