Gaston out, Burel launches, Zverev and Medvedev hooked, Gauff passes … Follow the third day

Shy day for the blue clan

Mixed start to the day for the Tricolores Porte d’Auteuil. Revealed to the public eye last year, Diane Parry showed that she was comfortable at Roland-Garros. A quick victory (6-2, 6-3) against Anhelina Kalinina, seeded number 25, and here she is launched into the tournament. It was however more complicated for Fiona Ferro. After qualifying, the French was no match for Rebecca Peterson and lost heavily (6-2, 6-0).

For Hugo Gaston and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, it’s also over. Beaten from the start by Alex Molcan (6-1, 7-6, 6-4), the Toulousain stops in the first round, while his compatriot, beneficiary of an invitation, fought well against Genaro Alberto Olivieri, before diving and losing in five sets (7-6, 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1). In the duel between French women, it was Océane Dodin who won against Selena Janicijevic (0-6, 6-2, 6-1).

The French in number

For this last day of the first round, the tricolor executives Gaël Monfils and Richard Gasquet, facing Arthur Rinderknech, will do their first laps at the end of the day while Quentin Halys is doingt its appearance in this fortnight.

Ruud and Jabeur at the right time

As for the favorites, Casper Ruud, outgoing semi-finalist, did not miss out on his debut. Clear win against Elias Ymer (6-4, 6-3, 6-2). For Ons Jabeur, it was necessary to be reassured after difficult weeks, it is done against Lucia Bronzetti (6-4, 6-1). Among the potential outsiders, Coco Gauff is doing well after a complicated start to the match against Rebeka Masarova (3-6, 6-1, 6-2).

Note the success of Mirra Andreeva, who won her first Grand Slam victory at 16 against Alison Riske-Amritraj (6-2, 6-1). The title holder Iga Swiatek (No. 1) will start against Cristina Bucsa in the third rotation on center court.
