After the start, Roland-Garros begins the second, Monday May 27. For this second day of competition, the program will be busy for the French representatives, but the big attraction of the day will be the poster pitting Rafael Nadal against Alexander Zverev, scheduled for the third rotation on the Philippe-Chatrier court.
All eyes on Rafael Nadal
What if this was his last match at Roland-Garros? The Spaniard, titled 14 times at Porte d’Auteuil and whose physical state is worrying, will have to create the feat against Alexander Zverev, seeded n°4 and systematically semi-finalist since 2021.
11 French people in the running, with Monfils at the end
Hugo Gaston will open the ball at 11 a.m. against the American nugget Ben Shelton on court 14. Arthur Fils, Clara Burel and especially Gaël Monfils will be expected today. The latter will conclude the day in a night session against the eye-catching Thiago Seyboth Wild, who defeated Daniil Medvedev last year.
Swiatek, Sinner, Gauff… The contenders enter the arena
After the quiet entry of Alcaraz the day before, the headliners will be more numerous today. Double title holder Iga Swiatek awaits Frenchwoman Leolia Jeanjean. One of the Pole’s main rivals, Coco Gauff will have to overcome the obstacle Julia Avdeeva, 188th in the world and from qualifying. Among the men, the winner of the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner, will be able to measure himself against the American Christopher Eubanks, who is not very comfortable on clay.
