- Today’s headliners
The stars will be there almost everywhere, but all eyes will be on a single poster, the one opposing the master of the place, Rafeal Nadal, to the German Alexander Zverev, no 4 in the world. The title holder, Iga Swiatek, also enters the fray, facing Frenchwoman Léolia Jeanjean, as does Coco Gauff (no 3), Ons Jabeur (no 8), Daniil Medvedev (bo 5) and Jannik Sinner (no 2), the winner of the Australian Open.
Léolia Jeanjean will therefore have the perilous honor of facing Swiatek, while Gaël Monfils will host the night session against the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild. Also on the program, the first racquet shots of the fortnight of Arthur Fils (no 29), Luca Van Assche, Hugo Gaston, Jessika Ponchet, Océane Dodin, Clara Burel and Fiona Ferro.
