The 2nd week of
Roland Garros started officially yesterday and today it continues with matches from Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Kenin, Kvitova and many more.
The ATP part of the event starts off at 11 with an interesting match between Fucsovics and Rublev to see who will move on at Roland Garros. Next, it continues with an even better match as
Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on
Grigor Dimitrov. The Greek has looked very sharp in his last two matches with Dimitrov playing a great overall event as well. The 3rd match is between Altmaier and Carreno-Busta. Two players who usually don't go deep in grand slams but both deserved it with stellar victories in the previous round.
The final match of the day in the ATP part of the day will be between
Novak Djokovic and
Karen Khachanov. Djokovic has looked very impressive since the restart while the Russian is enjoying a resurgence of late. They played six times with Novak winning 5 of those and Khachanov winning their only indoor match which is a tidbit worth mentioning.
The WTA part of the event will feature 4 matches as well and the first one is between
Petra Kvitova and Zhang. At the same time, Badosa from Spain will take on Siegemund from Germany. Both played well so far but the end is near for one of them. Next up is another interesting affair between Collins and Jabeur. Jabeur is a very tricky player who often looms around the quarterfinal mark in the tournament so this is her chance to go further than that.
The final WTA match should be the most interesting one as
Sofia Kenin is taking on French hopeful Fiona Ferro. Kenin has looked shaky in the first two matches, but in the last one, she looked impressive. Which Kenin will step out today onto the red clay?
