Roland-Garros enters its fifth day, Thursday May 30. The rain having prevented the holding of all the matches scheduled on the annex courts and the Simonne-Mathieu the day before, the program is dense. Seven French people are expected on the courts, as well as a nice group of headliners, from Novak Djokovic to Aryna Sabalenka via Daniil Medvedev.
Will there be a Habs in the 3rd round?
That’s the big question. After a good first day, the eliminations continued for the French. Alexandre Müller will be the first to enter the court, where he will resume his match against Matteo Arnaldi (3-5 in the first set), with Chloé Paquet, who will try to get rid of the number 32 seed, the Czech Katerina Siniakova . Corentin Moutet, Diane Parry, Varvara Gracheva, Arthur Rinderknech will follow, until the night session which will see Gaël Monfils face Lorenzo Musetti.
Novak Djokovic will be monitored
In an extremely open men’s draw, the Serbian’s performance will be watched closely. Against Pierre-Hugues Herbert, he did not particularly shine. This time, Roberto Carballes Baena (63rd player in the world) stands in his way. We will keep an eye on the matches of Aryna Sabalenka, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev.
Will the rain still spoil the party?
This start of the fortnight is particularly upset by the precipitation. Yesterday, unscheduled players on the two main courts, which have roofs, were only able to play for a maximum of 45 minutes. Météo-France’s forecasts are not much more optimistic for today.
