PARIS: Novak Djokovic will take to Court Philippe Chatrier in Wednesday’s French Open night session under fire for his recent comments about clashes in Kosovo, after world number one Carlos Alcaraz also plays in the second round. Djokovic, who is chasing a men’s record 23rd Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros, scrawled the message “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence” on a camera following his first-round match.
Mats Wilander believes Casper Ruud and Holger Rune could benefit from the French Open draw opening up following Daniil Medvedev’s shock exit, but he warned: “Literally anyone could go through”. Second seed Medvedev was one of the favourites to take the men’s singles title at Roland-Garros this year but suffered a stunning first-round defeat to world No. 172 Thiago Seyboth Wild on Tuesday.
What stories are set to be written on Day 4 of the French Open? Day 3 saw Daniil Medvedev dumped out of the tournament by world No. 172 Thiago Seyboth Wild, while Iga Swiatek avoided such drama by getting past Cristina Bucsa. Ad Holger Rune was another to seal his progression, with Eurosport's John McEnroe labelling the Dane «the real deal», and his favourite to reach the men's final.
PARIS: If anyone thought a couple of recent runs to Week 2 at the French Open and a clay-court title a little more than a week ago made Daniil Medvedev a little fonder of the red stuff, forget it.
Without King of Clay Rafael Nadal playing, can Novak Djokovic win — and set the men's record for most Grand Slams? Or will the victor be heir apparent Carlos Alcaraz?
Carlos Alcaraz will resume his quest for a first French Open title with an air of invincibility after a dominant opening display, while Novak Djokovic will look to avoid a political distraction in his hunt for a record 23rd major following his message about Kosovo.
PARIS: Ons Jabeur got a do-over on Court Philippe Chatrier at the French Open and won this time. A year after her first-round exit, the No. 7 seed Jabeur beat Lucia Bronzetti 6-4, 6-1 to help erase some bad memories and answer questions about a recent calf injury.
PARTSI: Reigning French Open champion Iga Swiatek says the Ukraine war has caused “chaos” in the world of sport. In an interview with French daily Le Monde on Tuesday, the Pole also hit out at the ruling bodies of tennis, the ATP and WTA, saying they had failed to provide leadership on the issue of Ukrainian players facing Russians on the court.
