The program for this fourth day of the main draw of the Roland-Garros tournament, which marks the start of the second round, promises to be enticing with the matches of Nadal, Thiem or Wawrinka.
The match to follow: Nadal-McDonald
After his health walk against the Bulgarian Egor Gerasimov (n ° 83) - beaten in barely two hours of play and three sets (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) - the Mallorcan should not stay too much time either on Central Court, this Wednesday.
In search of a 13 coronation in Paris, Rafael Nadal faces the anonymous American Mackenzie McDonald, n ° 211.
French to watch: Benoît Paire
After a summer weaned from competition due to his multiple positive-negative tests for Covid-19 and more or less necessary quarantines, Benoît Paire is thirsty for a match.
Late Tuesday night, he was on court number 11 to play a double with Adrian Mannarino.
This Wednesday, he will be in 3rd position on the Simonne-Mathieu court against the Argentinian Federico Coria, world No. 99 and little brother of Guillermo (finalist in 2004), with a good appetite.
“Everyone is putting me by the wayside, as if I had already lost, but I did not lose.
I play (Federico) Coria, I can beat him.
I saw that David (Goffin) had lost, it's my part of the table.
You never know, with a few games, a little confidence, it can come back very quickly.
The sensations are pretty decent on the court.
Why not do something good.
"
A smile says it all 😆☺️🤩
So happy to discover this magnificent new Central court!

The Frenchwoman to watch: Caroline Garcia
The only French to be in contention this Wednesday at Roland-Garros, the native of Saint-Germain-en-Laye faces Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich, 96th in the world.
If this is the first time that the two players face each other on clay, they have faced each other 3 times on hard.
Each time, Caroline Garcia, No. 45, won.
On its momentum of its success in three sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-4) on Anett Kontaveit, seed number 17, (it is the first time in nine years that it has won against Roland against a better ranked player), Garcia will have the favor of the predictions ...
