Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the seventh day of the main draw of the Roland-Garros tennis tournament. A week after the start of the tournament, the French are an endangered species on Parisian clay, but the stakes remain numerous. From the first exchanges to the last racket hits, we will tell you everything that will happen at Porte d’Auteuil, until the end of the night session.
- Today’s headliners
Rather calm at the start of the tournament, world number 1 Novak Djokovic will once again set foot on Parisian clay and will face strong adversity, in the person of Lorenzo Musetti, seeded no 30. Aryna Sabalenka (no 2), Elena Rybakina (bo 4), Alexander Zverev (bo 4), Daniil Medvedev (no 5) and Casper Ruud (no 7) will also play.
Unfortunately, this will be the Frenchwoman’s corner today. Only one will be competing on the courts of Roland-Garros on this first day of June. Varvara Gracheva will face the Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu on the Suzanne-Lenglen court.
