Djokovic and the curse of the linesmen.
The world n ° 1, excluded from the US Open after involuntarily touching a linesman, had indicated at Roland Garros on Saturday: “The technology is so advanced at the moment, there is absolutely no reason that we keeps the line judges in the field ”.
This Monday, the Serbian opposed to the Russian Karen Khachanov, on a return of service, touched… involuntarily a linesman.
Before quickly apologizing.
The world No. 1 is in the quarterfinals (for the 14th time in Paris) having lost only 25 games.
Bis repetita for Djokovic?
The Serb unintentionally sends a service from Khachanov to a linesman!
Obviously, there will be no disqualification, unlike the episode of the US Open # RG20

The sentence:
"I like playing on the Chatrier, because we know what time we are playing"
Signed by the German Laura Siegemund (66th in the world) who disposed of 7-5, 6-2 against the Spanish Paula Badosa who will live her first major quarter-final against Petra Kvitova (no.7) who eliminated the Chinese Shuai Zhang 6-2, 6-4.
“I like playing on the Chatrier, because we know what time we are playing.
We know the playing conditions a little better, whereas when we are outside, an uncovered court, it is windy.
For a while during the game today it rained quite a bit, and if it had rained a little harder the game probably should have been suspended.
What is good is going to Chatrier court with the roof if necessary. ”
On the blue side.
Fiona Ferro, the last French chance, lost 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 against the American Sofia Kenin (seeded n ° 4).
The protégé of Emmanuel Planque started her match well before being overwhelmed by the winner of the Australian Open who has an appointment with the Tunisian Ons Jabeur or the American Danielle Collins in the quarter-finals.
The Frenchwoman (23 years old; 49th in the world) will have, like Hugo Gaston or Clara Burel, lived a campaign full of hopes (in particular her third round against the Romanian Patricia Maria Tig) which should serve her in the coming months.
She is no longer afraid to impose her game and her fighting spirit allows her to hope to compete with the best.
It's over for Fiona Ferro
Despite winning the 1st set, the Frenchwoman is eliminated by Sofia Kenin!
Impressive, the American wins 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 and qualifies for the 1st time in the 1/4 final of # RG20
