The 2nd round of Roland-Garros begins this Wednesday, May 29 with a night session, Richard Gasquet facing Jannik Sinner.
The essential
- Wednesday’s program at Roland-Garros will once again be very disrupted because of the rain. We will still follow the French Moutet, Muller or even Caroline Garcia on Central. Among the favorites, Carlos Alcaraz is expected as is Jannik Sinner in the night session.
- Tuesday, the day was nightmarish for the French with 8 eliminated out of 9. Only Arthur Rinderknech qualified. Novak Djokovic, for his part, quietly passed his first round against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
