The 4th day of the French Open was marked, this Wednesday, by the new demonstration of Novak Djokovic. The young Spaniard Ca


If the phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz (n°6) and the German Alexander Zverev (n°3) each had to erase a match point to qualify for the 3rd round of the Roland-Garros tournament, the 4th day of the table main event, played on Wednesday in front of a young audience - children's day obliges - was much calmer for the other favorites.

On the French side, the young Diane Parry was the only one to win her sesame for the 3rd round.

The performance: Diane Parry in the 3rd round

The great adventure continues for Diane Parry.

The young 19-year-old Frenchwoman, who created a sensation in the first round by eliminating the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, world n°2 and defending champion, easily qualified for the 3rd round of the Parisian tournament by dominating in 2 sets (6 -3, 6-3) Colombian Camila Osorio.

She saves a day when the French camp saw its heads fall into the sawdust of disillusion one after the other.

Thanks to the young player from TC Boulogne-Billancourt, there will therefore be a Frenchwoman in the 3rd round of Roland-Garros.

It will be a first for Parry who will face American Sloane Stephens, finalist in Paris in 2018. “I wanted to thank the public who support me in every match.

He motivates me to give me the best every time and come back, savored the Frenchwoman after the match.

I don't intend to stop there.

It's pure happiness to be in the 3rd round of this tournament which is my favorite tournament.

I hope to go as far as possible.

The star: Djoko rolls out

Not really disturbed by the presence of his former emblematic coach, Marian Vajda, now in the box of Slovak Alex Molcan (n ° 38), Novak Djokovic had fun with his opponent, swept away in 3 sets (6-2, 6- 3, 7-6 (7/4)) in 2h15 of play. After an almost blank start to the season due to his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid, the world No. 1 has not given up a single set since 7 games and his final lost against Alcaraz in Madrid on May 7.

He will face the Slovenian Aljaz Bedene, 195th in the world, in the next round.

An obstacle within his reach.

The comeback: Alcaraz overthrows Albert Ramos

The fratricidal duel between Spaniards kept all its promises and ended with an incredible comeback from Carlos Alcaraz.

Led 2 sets to 1, the new terror of the tennis courts even had to save a match point in the 4th set before delivering the thrust to his opponent during a decisive and long uncertain set (6-1, 6 -7[7], 5-7, 7-6[2], 6-4).

Despite this scare, Alcaraz will be there for the 3rd round where he will face the American Sebastian Korda who beat Richard Gasquet.

The number: 1.

Like the number of match points saved by Alexander Zverev (3rd in the world) against the Argentinian Sebastian Baez (36th).

Led 2-6, 4-6, the 2021 semi-finalist came back up to his opponent to offer himself a breathless final round.

The Tokyo Olympic champion then dismissed a match point on his serve at 4-5 before continuing with three games to clinch his ticket for the third round (2-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6 -2, 7-5.

🇩🇪 Alexander Zverev has punched the table since losing the 2nd set.

The flop: the top seeds of the women's table

It's a real disaster.

It is not good to hold the seeded bib in the women's draw this year.

After Barbora Krejcikova (n°2), Anett Kontaveit (n°5), Ons Jabeur (n°6) and Garbine Muguruza (n°10), two other seeds left the Parisian adventure this Wednesday.

The Greek Maria Sakkari (world No. 3), and the Briton Emma Raducanu (No. 12) - surprise winner of the US Open in 2021 - were respectively eliminated by the Czech Karolina Muchova (81st) (7-6 (7 /5), 7-6 (7/4)) and Belarus under neutral banner Aliaksandra Sasnovich (47th) (3-6, 6-1, 6-1).

The sentence: “I had tears in my eyes”.

Auger-Aliassime watching the tribute to Tsonga

In February, Félix Auger-Aliassime showed no mercy during the second round of the Marseille Open 13 for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, beaten in 2 sets (7-6 (3), 6-2).

Tuesday, during the tribute on the Central paid to his "youth idol", as he said himself, the 21-year-old Canadian was in front of his screen in his hotel room.

Febrile.

He revealed it Wednesday at a press conference after his qualification for the 3rd round of Roland-Garros.

“I was very moved.

I was watching this from home, I had tears in my eyes.

It's amazing to see players you looked up to retiring.

I will feel the same when Rafa, Novak, Roger, these great players, stop.

For Jo, it's very moving.

I think it was the right time.

You could see that his body was no longer holding.

He gave everything until the end,

until his body tells him to "stop".

He's an excellent player.

I hope he will stay in the tennis world and that I can see him often.
