Numerous German tennis professionals are hoping for their chance at the French Open.
But Zverev, Kerber and Co. have tough opponents in front of their chests in the first rounds.
The
2020 French Open
have started.
Quite a few German players are there.
We follow what is happening in the
news ticker
.
Paris -
Alexander Zverev
almost created a sensation
at the US Open
and was
only conceivably
defeated by
Dominic Thiem
in the final in the tie-break after five sets.
This time, things should go better for the 23-year-old, because the French Open * will start from scratch again.
But not only Alexander Zverev, who found it difficult to win the first round match against Austrian Dennis Novak (7: 5, 6: 2, 6: 4), represents Germany in the traditional tournament.
French Open: The German participants and their opponents - Zverev and Koepfer already in round two
In the
men's singles
, Zverev and other German players are in the first round:
Jan-Lennard Struff
will
face the
American Frances Tiafoe on Monday, and
Daniel Altmaier will
meet the Spaniard Feliciano López a
little later
.
On Tuesday,
Philipp Kohlschreiber,
the last German to start the first round, will be up against the Chilean Cristian Garín.
All Smiles for Sascha 😁
