It’s already time for the round of 16 at Roland-Garros. After another day disrupted by rain, the players and the public are hoping for the sun above the Porte d’Auteuil, Sunday June 2. The last Frenchman in the running, Corentin Moutet challenges Jannik Sinner, seeded n°2, one of the favorites for the final victory. As for the favorites, Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Iga Swiatek are all expected on the courts.
Carlos Alcaraz in danger?
Arriving without much certainty in Paris, after his failures in Monte-Carlo and Rome, the Spaniard gained confidence on the clay at Porte d’Auteuil. In the third round, he scored a solid victory against the American Sebastian Korda (No. 27). Now another seed awaits him, the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (No. 21), for a place in the quarter-finals.
Who can stop Iga Swiatek?
The Osaka scare is over, and Iga Swiatek continues to chart her course. After dismissing Marie Bouzkova in the third round, the world number 1 faces the Russian Anastasia Potapova, 41st player in the world. Double title holder, the Pole only missed the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros during her first participation at Porte d’Auteuil.
Corentin Moutet’s big night?
A major challenge for the last French male representative. Corentin Moutet faces Jannik Sinner for his first round of 16 at Roland-Garros, in the evening on center court. After his victories against Nicolas Jarry (n°25), Alexander Shevchenko and Sebastian Ofner, and his great performance, widely followed by French supporters, the Ile-de-France resident wants to continue dreaming.
