The 128th edition of Roland Garros continues unabated. Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Kei Nishikori, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Stan Wawrinka, Elina Svitolina, Sloane Stephens, Garbine Muguruza, Karolina Pliskova and Petra Martic won their challenges and reached the next round of the tournament.
Talking about Nadalthe Spaniard revealed what he thought at each end of Roland Garros, and what he said came as a surprise: “There are titles that I liked more than others, but each one has a special meaning. Every Monday after the final, without exception, when I leave Paris, I think that this could be my last title, since 2005.
You never know what can happen, it’s not the first time. When I lost the Wimbledon final in 2007, I thought I would never have the chance to win the title again, and in the end, I won in 2008 and 2010. Part of Australian tennis (yes, we are talking about Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic) is not currently getting along very well with Roland-Garros.
After Kyrgios, his colleague, Bernard Tomic, also expressed his opinion: “They don’t do it for me (clay court tournaments – editor’s note), my game is not built for this surface.” The press conference after the first round elimination against Taylor Fritz (in 88 minutes of match), immediately became a trending topic on Twitter, with the almost embarrassing silences of the Australian.
Open Lindsey Vonn-Franch is a combination not to be missed. The former American skier, great lover of tennis and friend of Federer, was the guest of the Rolex, of which she is a testimony. Yesterday she watched, with PK
Subban, Naomi Osaka’s match. Tomorrow, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro, Alexander Zverev, Simona Halep and Serena Williams will take the court for their second round matches.
