At Roland-Garros,
For Fiona Ferro
We don't stop Fiona Ferro anymore.
The Niçoise has not experienced defeat since the post-Covid-19 recovery and has recorded against Kazakhe Elena Rybakina (seed n ° 14) her 17th consecutive victory, after her success in two tournaments organized by the French Federation tennis in July, in Nice and Cannes, and his title in Palermo in early August, the second of his career.
Fiona Ferro will face Romanian Patricia Maria Tig (59th) on Saturday for a place in the round of 16.
She had loved her first experience on the Chatrier on Thursday.
She finds herself on this court this Saturday for a first round of 16 in a Grand Slam.
“I'm going to try to keep it simple, tennis and the game. I'll try not to add too much.
The main thing is to stay on the game. "
For Clara Burel
The Slovenian Juvan who had beaten her in the final of the Youth Olympic Games in Rio in 2018 (5-7, 4-6), was the victim of the young Frenchwoman.
For her first third round in the Grand Slam, the Breton finds Zhang Shuai, 39th in the world, downfall of Alizé Cornet (6-4, 7-6).
He will have (again) revenge in the air on the Simonne-Mathieu court.
The Chinese defeated Burel in Strasbourg at the end of September (6-3, 7-6).
“Even though I had lost in straight sets, it had been a hung game where I had two set points.
I know her, and she knows me. "
For Stefanos Tsitispas
After being scared in the first round, the Greek had no problem facing the Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas (6-1, 6-4, 6-2).
A saving boost for the 5th world still inconstant in the Majors.
Beaten in the 3rd round, the US Open and the Australian Open, the winner of the last Masters, must do better in Paris.
Be careful though with Bedene.
The Greek lost to the 56th world 7-5, 6-4, during the Rotterdam tournament in February during their only confrontation.
So there he is warned.
For Garbine Muguruza
Very close to the exit from the first round (8-6 victory in the third set against Tamara Zidanšek), the Spaniard was reassured against the Czech Krystina Pliskova.
Winner of the 2016 edition, the former world number one has fallen back a bit since, but she often shines in the Grand Slams as evidenced by her final at the Australian Open at the start of the year.
She has the favors of the predictions this Saturday against the American Danielle Collins.
“She is a very aggressive player again, I will have to bring out my aggressive game against hers and try to dominate.
I think it will be a difficult round. ”
For a 100% Spanish duel
Roberto Bautista Agut and Pablo Carreno Busta are not exactly the prototypes of players of Iberian landlords like Rafael Nadal or even Carlos Moya, David Ferrer, or Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Clay is not the preferred surface for Bautista Agut or Carreno Busta.
The two opposing compatriots at the opening on the Suzanne-Lenglen, have never done better than the quarter-final in Paris (Carreno Busta in 2017).
“I have a very high level.
I'm not inferior to anyone on clay… maybe Nadal, ”said Carreno Busta, recent US Open semi-finalist.
Bautista Agut, who leads 4-3 in their head-to-head, is up to the challenge.
