12:10 p.m .: There is life on the central, where we started later than elsewhere. Alizé Cornet leads 1-0 after three short minutes of play against the Japanese Misaki Doi, 98th in the world.
12h07 : This Medvedev – Bagnis looks more and more like the Djokovic – Nishioka of last night. 6-2, 4-1…
12h03 : And entry break in the 2nd round for Andrianjafitrimo. In Nogaro, where people are more into motor sports than tennis, the locals can’t believe their eyes.
11:59 am: Nice reaction from Ugo Humbert. After losing the first set, the Frenchman leads 2-0 in the second against Finland’s Ruusuvuori.
11h57 : Surprise winner of the 2017 edition, Jelena Ostapenko is in the process of boning the Italian Bronzetti. The Latvian, a specialist in large flat slaps, leads 6-1, 3-2 service to follow.
11:54 am: BRAVO TESSAH!!! First Andrianjafitrimo set on the Simonne-Mathieu. 6-2 against Karolina Pliskova. Not bad for a wild-card holder against the No. 8 seed.
11h52 : Do you remember when I compared Collins to Krejcikova (it was at 11:26 for the distracted)? Well, having peeled Tomova in the first set (6-0), the Florida vocalist is trailing 2-0 in the second…
11:48 a.m .: An ace, and here is Medvedev who wins the first set (6-2). Exactly the same score as Ruusuvuori against Humbert, alas…
11:47 am: LONG LIVE THE FREE GERS!!! Tessa Andrianjafitrimo, from Nogaro, now leads 5-1 against Karolina Pliskova! Incredible…
11:45 a.m .: Looks like it’s taking shape on the Lenglen. Medvedev now leads 5-2 against Bagnis, largely dominated.
11:35 am: Come on, new break for Medvedev (3-2). It would be a question of accelerating Daniil, we want to see RIchard us.
11h27 : Shutout Medvedev on his serve. 2-2 after 16 minutes. Richard Gasquet, who must finish after the Russian match his game well underway against the South African Harris, will perhaps have to wait.
11h26 : On the 6th, the American howler Danielle Collins (seed n°9) is on the move for the moment against the Bulgarian Tomova, 140th in the world (3-0). But beware of the Krejcikova syndrome. The defending champion was also off to a good start against Diane Parry. We don’t draw you…
11h23 : In the tricolor section, I offer you a little Ugo Humbert on court n°7. The 46th in the world, a little back in line, battle against the Finn Emil Ruusuvuori (1-1).
11h21 : Double fault by Medvedev and the Russian is broken by Bagnis (1-1) after a very long game.
11:18 am: it also plays on the other courts, except on the Chatrier where Alizé Cornet will start against the Japanese Doi at noon. The French wild-card Tessah Andrianjafritrimo had an excellent start to the match against the Czech Karolina Pliskova on the Simonne-Mathieu: 3-0 and double break!!!
11:15 am: The 2nd break point is the right one for the most French-speaking Russian. A long line backhand and Bagnis remains stuck…
11h13 : First break point Medvedev saved by Bagnis. Honestly, if the Russian doesn’t beat the Argentinian today, he has to forget about this area for good.
11 a.m.: Hello everyone. It’s not hot (14°C), cloudy, but it’s going to work. In particular Daniil Medvedev, seeded n°2, who opens the ball on the Suzanne-Lenglen court against the Argentinian Facundo Bagnis. Not really a terror with his 103rd place at the ATP and his 32 years.
There will be something for all generations, from young people (Humbert, Gaston) to veterans at the end of the track (Tsonga, Simon) via Ferro, Bonzi, Mannarino, Garcia and Cornet. Without forgetting Gasquet, Paire or Rinderknech who must finish their match the day before, and who attack this Tuesday in more or less enviable positions. For foodiesthe upcoming Tsitsipas – Musetti should delight the taste buds.
