Following the quarter-finals this Wednesday on the courts of Roland-Garros. Iga Swiatek, world number 1, is in the running.
The day after the colossal 59th duel between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the public will once again taste the joys of tennis, Porte d’Auteuil. In the men’s draw, the quarter-finals continue. Tomb of Stefanos Tsitsipas and true revelation of the tournament, Holger Rune will be on track in night session. For his first Grand Slam tournament, can the 19-year-old Dane reach the last four? Nothing is less certain, since he will be opposed to Casper Ruud. The Norwegian, constant on this Roland-Garros, is one of the best clay court players this season. One thing remains certain: the winner of this shock of the new generation will be the surprise guest of the semi-finals.
Iga Swiatek still ultra favorite
In the other men’s quarter-final, Marin Cilic will be looking for another prestigious success. The Croatian brought down Daniil Medvedev in the previous round. He will seek to hang another Russian player on his list in the person of Andrey Rublev. The latter lost a set in each of his matches. In the previous lap, he was very badly embarked against Jannik Sinner… before the Italian’s knee began to whistle, pushing him to retire. Rublev is therefore in the quarter-finals, with a sparkling Marin Cilic on his way.
On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek got scared in the previous round. She lost a set for the first time in a very long time, but the Pole is there. She will try to confirm her status as ultra favorite against the surprising Jessica Pegula. On the Philippe-Chatrier court, it’s another female shock that will open the ball of the day. A 100% Russian duel between Veronika Kudermetova and Daria Kasatkina.
