The program for the fifth day of the Roland-Garros main draw, this Thursday, will be marked by the electrifying presence of world number 1 Novak Djokovic and three French players (Cornet, Ferro and Burel).

The match to follow: Djokovic - Berankis

The three-way and long-distance match continues in the fight for the coronation.

The day after the health walks of the Spaniard Rafael Nadal and the Austrian Dominic Thiem, respectively against the Americans Mackenzie McDonald (6-1, 6-0, 6-3) and Jack Sock (6-1, 6-3 , 7-6), the third favorite for the title will try to imitate his opponents and qualify for the round of 16 of this special edition of Roland-Garros.

After sweeping the young Swede Mikael Ymer (6-0, 6-2, 6-3) in the first round, Novak Djokovic should not have any difficulty in dismissing the Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis (n ° 66) who, in 6 participations in the Internationals of France, had so far never crossed the threshold of the first round.

The world number 1 will try to store a 27th success this season for a single setback… following his disqualification at the US Open.

💪 Djokovic easily qualified!



🇷🇸 The Serbian made short work of the young Swede Mikael Ymer, 6/0, 6/2, 6/3 in less than 1h40, he announces the color and confirms his status as favorite!

The Frenchwoman to watch: Clara Burel

It is one of the striking images of the first round of Roland-Garros.

Following her victory over Dutch Arantxa Ru s (6-7, 7-6, 6-3) at 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday - making it the latest match ever to end in the tournament - Clara Burel fell in the arms of his mother.

In tears.

Invited by the organizers, the world number 433 won her first success for her first match in the final table of the event.

The tears of joy have dried and the Breton returns to the courts of the Porte d'Auteuil this Thursday with a duel against the Slovenian Kaja Juvan.

Two 19-year-old players.

Junior world champion in 2018, Burel can legitimately hope to continue her Parisian adventure.

At almost 0h15, @clara_burel won after a big fight the first match of his young career at #RolandGarros.

She beats the Dutch Arantxa Rus 6/7, 7/6, 6/3.
