A clash of young wolves, Tsitsipas and Medvedev on deck… The program for Monday, May 30

Difficult to do better than Sunday in terms of programming, with Nadal, Djokovic and Alcaraz who took turns on the courts. But don’t worry, there are some great matches awaiting us this Monday at Roland-Garros, between Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Sinner on the men’s side, as well as Swiatek for the women.

The poster of the day

In your place, if we had to choose a spot to land on Monday, we would choose the end of the day on Lenglen. It’s setting sun that Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev have an appointment for this round of 16 which smells like a fight. The two bosses, 20 and 24 years old respectively, constitute the vanguard of the next generation behind the top names. Their last confrontation, in Monte Carlo, had been particularly disputed. The Italian had won, before giving in to Zverev in the next round. In two appearances at Roland, so far only Rafael Nadal has beaten him…

Today’s favorites

Honor to the ladies, with the number 1 and big favorite, Iga Swiatek. The Polish continues to crush the competition, and it is hard to see the Chinese Qinwen Zheng stopping the good series. Before this match scheduled on the Central, Stefanos Tsitsipas will have had a good test against the astonishing Dane Holger Rune, 19 years old and still not a set lost since the start of the tournament, especially against Gaston. In the evening, Daniil Medvedev, who was not expected to be so comfortable this year, will have to get rid of Marin Cilic, still tired of playing.

The French of the day

No we’re kidding (it’s vaaaaaa, we have the right to make the joke once we said)

Today’s weather

No rain to be expected, but for the big and beautiful sun we will come back. A few sunny spells and 20°C max, that’s all we’ll be entitled to this Monday at Porte d’Auteuil.

The daring tip of the day

Do you know Hubert Hurkacz? Not good, huh? At the end of this day, we bet it will be much better. The Pole, 13th in the world by hitting all his shots with his eyes closed, will make short work of Casper Ruud on Lenglen. Surprise winner of the Masters 1000 in Miami then semi-finalist of Wimbledon last year, the 25-year-old player is of formidable solidity this season. Before admiring the demonstration, we offer you a little taste of what the guy is capable of.
