The second week of Roland Garros begins Sunday, June 4. At the end of the day, the Americanne Stephens, 30, and Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka compete on the Philippe-Chatrier court in a “night session”, an evening reserved for the most beautiful poster of the day. This is the first women’s match played in the evening during this edition and only the third in 27 sessions accumulated over the past three years.

Announced among the favorites, Aryna Sabalenka has mixed feelings about clay. The Australian Open winner has never played the second week of the Paris tournament, but she can build on her victory at the Madrid Open this season. She will try to validate her ticket for the quarter-finals against Californian Sloane Stephens. Less prominent, the world No. 30 nevertheless claims her love for the Parisian tournament, her “favorite grand slam”. EShe had notably reached the final in 2018 and the quarter-finals twice, including in 2022.
