There will be a lot of people on the courts this Sunday, if everyone can get through the drops.
Opposed to the Polish Swiatek, Simona Halep, seeded n ° 1, will open the ball of the knockout stages on the Central.
The match to follow: Zverev - Sinner
Used to roller coaster matches, Alexander Zverev was hot in the second round against Pierre-Hugues Herbert before disgusting the Italian Cecchinato, semi-finalist of the tournament in 2018. Finalist of the last US Open, the German seems to approach this Roland-Garros unprecedented with a beautiful state of mind.
From the top of his 23 years, the native of Hamburg would almost look like a former against Jannick Sinner, 19, the rising star of Italian tennis.
With his teenage face under his cap, the Transalpin has still not conceded a single set, notably dismissing David Goffin (n ° 11) with authority for the opening match.
It's okay for Alexander Zverev 🎾
The German qualifies in the 2nd week after his victory in three sets against Marco Cecchinato, 6-1, 7-5, 6-3!
Meet Jannik Sinner in next round # RG20

The Frenchwoman to watch: Caroline Garcia
It will be the shock of the female table.
To afford a place in the quarterfinals, as in 2017, Caroline Garcia will have to defeat the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, seeded n ° 3.
With good statistics in my pocket.
The Frenchwoman, who toppled Belgian Mertens (No.16) in the previous round, won three of their four encounters, the last on clay in Hamburg two years ago.
Garcia will be able to rely on the support of the (meager) audience of the Philippe-Chatrier court, which was precious to him on Friday.
Caroline Garcia serving for the win of the match, it's well worth an ola to 1000 people!

French to watch: Hugo Gaston
To speak of Hugo Gaston, Marc Barbier, his coach, evokes a mountaineer who clears tracks.
After having conquered a peak of the Swiss Alps with Wawrinka, the left-hander from Toulouse squarely attacks the summit of Tyrol.
You will have to take out the ice ax and snowshoes to hope to resist the steepness of the Dominic Thiem slope.
The world n ° 3, finalist of the last two Roland-Garros, has taken another step forward by winning his first Grand Slam in New York.
Since the start of the fortnight, Nicolas Massu's protégé has been impressive.
Or even bestial ...

The number: 19
In three rounds and nine sets, Rafael Nadal only conceded 19 games, an average of just over two games per set.
This shows the magnitude of the task that awaits the amazing American qualifier Sebastian Korda, 213th at ATP…
👖 Like what, anything is possible.
After having a #RolandGarros in October with a roof, we now have Rafael #Nadal 🇪🇸 wearing the leggings!
