outlook
The hot phase of the French Open begins, the first day of the round of 16 is here. Of course, the focus is on Alexander Zverev’s game.
From a German perspective, the first day of the round of 16 is of course all about the appearance of Alexander Zverev. The Hamburger will be challenged by Dutch outsider Jesper de Jong on the Philippe-Chatrier in the afternoon (not before 3:30 p.m.).
The largest stadium in the Paris facility already offers exciting pairings. This is how the Ukrainians open Martha Kostyuk and Iga Swiatek from Poland (from 11 a.m.) the tennis day – a balanced duel can be expected. Similar to the game between Elina Svitolina (Ukraine), which had previously thrown out the last German, Tamara Korpatsch, and the Swiss Belinda Bencic.
Night session with Djokovic conqueror
The Norwegians will fight in the night session from 8:15 p.m. at the earliest Casper Ruud and Joao Fonseca to advance to the quarterfinals. The young Brazilian Fonseca recently knocked old master Novak Djokovic out of the tournament – will he be able to repeat this top performance?
The doubles receive significantly less attention; the second round appearance of the Germans is worth mentioning Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz but always. The top duo meets the Argentines Roman Andres Burruchaga and Thiago Agustin Tirante.
11 a.m | Marta Kostyuk – Iga Swiatek |
around 1 p.m | Elina Svitolina – Belinda Bencic |
around 4 p.m | Alexander Zverev – Jesper De Jong |
around 8:15 p.m | Casper Ruud – Joao Fonseca |
