23:30 – END OF LIVE
This is the end of this live for today after a crazy day and incredible semi-finals. Now it’s time for women this Saturday with the Swiatek – Gauff final.
23:25 – Iga Swiatek – Cori Gauff, the favorite against the surprise
This Saturday, Swiatek faces Gauff in the Roland Garros final. The Pole, world number 1, is the defending champion. Opposite, at 18, the American will play her first grand slam final. She will be under pressure, but she will also have nothing to lose. The match promises to be breathtaking! The match kicks off at 3:00 p.m.
23:20 – Debru, France who wins?
Will a Frenchman create a surprise in the Roland Garros junior tournament? In the final, 16-year-old Gabriel Debru hopes to win the most prestigious title of his young career. Facing his fire service, he will have the Belgian Gilles Arnaud Bailly. The appointment is made for 12:30 p.m.
22:50 – Nadal still suffers from foot pain
Faced with Ruud, Sunday, in the final of Roland Garros, the Iberian will still have to push his limits. Faced with Zverev, who was forced to retire after injuring his ankle, Nadal suffered enormously: “I prefer to lose the final and to have a new foot that would allow me to be happy every day. “It’s great, it fills you with momentary joy. But life goes on and that’s the most important thing. I have a life that awaits after and I would like to be able to play amateur sports there with my friends…”
22:31 – Ruud made an appointment with Nadal
Sunday, in the final of Roland Garros, Ruud will find Nadal, whom he will play for the first time in his life: “It’s incredible. He’s one of the fantastic. It will be usual for him to come back to this court for a final Grand Slam (laughs). It was an example for me. I tried to do like Nadal, he never complains. He never gives up. He’s my idol.”
22:22 – The first reaction of Ruud, Roland Garros finalist
At the microphone of Santoro, Ruud analyzed his victory against Cilic: “It was a great match for me. I didn’t start very well. I was too defensive. I started from the second set. “I played my best tennis. I’m very happy with this performance. I raised my game, played faster. My tactics changed, and it allowed me to raise my level of play.”
22:15 – Ruud joins the Roland Garros final
For the first time in history, there will be a Norwegian in the Roland Garros final. After losing the first set, Ruud was intractable against a Marin Cilic, exhausted by his matches on clay (3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2).
22:14 – Ruud gets three match points
The Norwegian’s clan is going crazy! Ruud performs a superb game.
22:12 – Ruud is three points from the final
The Norwegian is incredibly calm. He managed a magnificent smash to get a first point in this game.
22:09 – Cilic maintains hope, 5-2
The Croatian is playing his all, with the energy of despair. But he doesn’t give up and scores a new ace.
22:08 – Ruud is one game away from happiness, 5-1
The Norwegian is full of serenity. A forehand allows him to glean a new game in this semi-final.
22:06 – Ruud scrolls the dots

Completed matches
At Roland Garros, the official program for each day, available on the official website, can sometimes be turned upside down. Indeed, if the schedule for the start of the day is quite clear, it is very difficult to count on the exact time of the end of the matches. The main constraints for the organizers: the weather and the time of sunset. In fact, only the Philippe-Chatrier court has a retractable roof and can host matches at night. The other courts do not have lighting. The program for Friday, June 3:
- Court Philippe Chatrier
- Not before 3:00 p.m.: Swiatek (POL – 1) – Gauff (USA – 23)
Here are the details of the meetings for this Roland Garros 2022 with the matches of the top seeds as well as the French men and women for the first round of the French Open:

Table women
This Roland-Garros 2022 begins with the main draw matches on Sunday May 22. The date of the men’s final, which traditionally closes the fortnight, is set for Sunday June 5, 2022.
The Roland Garros ticketing system (see the official website) of the 2022 edition has been revised. The objective of the organizers is to fill the courts “to full capacity”. For this, access to the stands has been reworked with the sale of 1,500 “annex-up” tickets which will allow ticket holders to attend matches on the annex courts but also to fill the boxes of the central court Philippe Chatrier , in case of low attendance. Often empty, the presidential stand will experience change in this 2022 edition. The organizers will give the possibility to club volunteers to be able to attend the matches from this stand, by inviting them regularly.
For the second consecutive year, tickets at €10 for young people under 25 will be on sale. Also note that in addition to the qualifying matches and the main tournament matches, other types of tickets are available for peripheral events: Children’s Day, the Legends Trophy… It is also possible to obtain tickets when arriving at the end of the day thanks to the Evening Visitors offer. Finally, the organizers offer Weekend Passes, Semi-final Passes or Final Passes.
The global allocation for Roland-Garros is known. In 2022, this will amount to 43.6 million euros, i.e. 7% more than in 2019. 2.2 million euros are promised to the winners of the singles tables. The organizers had promised to make an effort in the endowments for the qualified and eliminated from the first round. Something done for players who have not passed the qualifications with a 66% increase in the allocation allocated to the qualifications compared to 2019 and 30% compared to 2021.
In a press release, the French Tennis Federation indicates that “the increase in the allocation for the 1st round of the singles draw and qualifications makes it possible to support the populations of players who have suffered the most from the health crisis in recent years.”
Roland Garros has been broadcast for many years by public service channels and Eurosport, but there have been changes since last year. Exit Eurosport: the broadcasting rights of the competition are now shared between France TV and Amazon Prime (subscribe to Amazon Prime Video), the video on demand service, which offers evening matches and those played on the Simonne-Mathieu court. The semi-finals and finals are co-broadcast.
