A. Kerber – M. Frech 0:0
The Pole starts the game with her own service and starts the match very well. The first two points go to the 24-year-old!

It can start right away!
Make way for Angie Kerber and Magdalena Frech! The two players have been waiting all afternoon, but now court number six is free. It’s about to start in a quarter of an hour.
16:57
Keep waiting!
Court number 6, i.e. the place where Angie Kerber and Magdalena Frech are supposed to get down to business later, now has its next completed game on the account. Taylor Fritz advances to the next round. There will be another game soon before it is Kerber and Frech’s turn. According to current estimates, that should be around 6:30 p.m.
15:17
It’s playing again!
The rain in Paris has stopped for the moment, the courts are playing again. As of now, Kerber and Frech are expected to start around 6 p.m.

In-form outsider
Magdalena Frech, on the other hand, has long since arrived in this season. The Pole won seven of her 12 main round matches this season. For the fifth time in total and for the first time as a top 100 player, Frech is part of a Grand Slam. She only managed to win once, here in Roland Garros, when she defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova. However, Frech has never been able to beat a player from the top 50.

Was that the turning point?
When Angie Kerber later enters the field, she does so as the newly crowned tournament winner. The girl from Kiel secured the title in Strasbourg and is now hoping for a turnaround in this messed-up season so far. She had won two matches before the appearance in Strasbourg. Not enough for the ambitious left-hander.

Warm welcome!
Good day and hello to the French Open 2022! The clay court major is slowly but surely picking up speed and this Monday Angelique Kerber should also intervene in the tournament. When exactly the game against Magdalena Frech from Poland will start is still unclear because of the rain in Paris. It is currently assumed to be 4:50 p.m., but that is not much more than a rough guide time.
