This year, we will have to watch Alexander Zverev. Without making any noise, the German advances slowly but surely in this Roland-Garros. The sixth world took time to settle on his first round (victory in 5 sets against Oscar Otte), then took place against Roman Safiullin and Laslo Djere whom he beat in three sets. Always so strong on his service, Alexander Zverev also has a clear table until the semi-finals where he could potentially face Stefanos Tsitsipas. But before thinking about it, we will have to face the Japanese Kei Nishikori who is back in great shape. Ranked number 49 in the ATP, the Asian player, a true icon in his country, won his first two rounds in straight sets and very long hours of play. Fortunately for him, his opponent in the third round forfeited,to the delight of his physical condition. Zverev - Nishikori airs this Sunday, June 6 at 9 p.m. on Amazon Prime Video.
