End of the first round of Roland-Garros this Tuesday, May 28 with many French people competing on all courts.
The essential
- The program for the end of the first round of Roland-Garros is once again very attractive with several French people involved. Alizée Cornet will start the day on the Central for her last Roland-Garros against the Chinese Qinwen Zheng. The second Frenchman in the ATP ranking Adrian Mannarino will face Giulio Zeppieri while the match of the night session will pit Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert against the title holder Novak Djokovic. We will also follow Arthur Cazaux or the young sensation Mpetshi Perricard.
- This Monday, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal fell to Alexander Zverev (3-6, 6-7, 3-6) in the first round for his first real test since his return to clay. Nadal potentially said goodbye to the Paris tournament for good even if he left doubt about his future.
