Roland-Garros: Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Serena Williams ... ask for the program for Sunday, June 6

2021-06-07T01:26:32.749Z


We play this Sunday the 8th finals of the bottom of the men's and women's tables. With Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas and Serena William


Even if it has been necessary to compose since the beginning of the fortnight to do one day with and one day without the magical trio, this Sunday without Nadal, Djokovic or Federer will nevertheless not lack flavor.

Serena Williams, who has not passed the 8th in Paris since 2016, will continue her crusade towards a 24th Grand Slam against Kazakhe Elena Rybakina (22nd).

In men, Stefanos Tsitsipas will have to be wary of the Spaniard Pablo Carreno-Busta, quarter-finalist in 2017 and 2020.

Medvedev, the test.

Daniil Medvedev has had an extraordinary career (at least his own) at Roland Garros. The world No. 2, who loves clay as much as little children love spinach, had never spent a single lap at Roland Garros. Too busy going off and cleaning up his things with dust that drives him crazy. But that was before. "There are beliefs that are changing," he smiled after his victory in the third round against the American Reilly Opelka. When I was young I hated fish, and now I like tuna, raw tuna. This year, I love Roland-Garros! The series of indigestible dishes begins this Sunday. In the round of 16, the Russian will be opposed to the Chilean Christian Garin, 23rd at ATP, absolutely not disturbed at the idea of ​​getting dirty on the Parisian courts.The two players have already faced each other this season ... in the round of 16 in Madrid and the South American won 6-4, 6-7, 6-1.

Nishikori, the ghost.

He had strayed so far from the radars that he almost thought he had left the tennis world. But Kei Nishikori, 31, three times quarter-finalist at Roland Garros, is still there. The former world No.4, now 49th, was not spared from injuries and only played six games last year before returning this season. After two big fights in five sets against Alessandro Giannessi then Karen Khachanov, the former US Open finalist benefited from the abandonment of the Swiss Henri Laaksonen to recharge a little of the batteries already well under way ... Especially since this Sunday, in the night session he meets Alexander "Sascha" Zverev for the third time in three tournaments! The German, No. 6 at ATP, won easily in Madrid (6-3, 6-2) before winning a much more contested match in Rome (4-6, 6-3, 6-4)."I can't wait to face him," breathes Nishikori. So I will have to prepare to return this serve if I want to defeat it. I really need to work on my raise. The last match was hotly contested against him. So I think that some opportunities will arise… ”

@keinishikori Congratulations!

You never gives up!

FIGHTER !!!

Zidansek, the surprise.

For those who read too quickly, beware of danger. Read well Zidansek and not Zidanesque. 23-year-old Slovenian Tamara Zidansek was the surprise guest in the round of 16, which she reached for the first time. The 85th in the world (she climbed to 56th place), who took out the Canadian Bianca Andreescu for her entry in the running, will challenge the Romanian Sorana Cirstea. “Finding myself there means a lot to me,” explains Zidansek, a psychology student. All my life I have fought to achieve such a feat. I hope to go further in the tournament. So she did well to choose tennis. TZ could indeed have made a career of snowboarder… if she had not feared the cold. “What I don't like about the bad weather,” she smiles. This Sunday, the temperature promises to be rather mild in the west of Paris.
