Results of the 7th day. May 28, Saturday

On Saturday at Roland Garros ended the 3rd round in singles. In men, representatives of the lower half of the grid played. In it, as two tennis players from Russia started – Andrey Rublev (7th seed) and Daniil Medvedev (2), so they are moving forward along the tournament distance towards their friend. This time Andriy in four sets coped with the tenacious Chilean Kristyan Garin, and Daniil did not leave any chance to Serb Miomir Ketsmanovich.

Another representative of the top 8 seeds did not experience any problems – the last finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas (4), who easily coped with this time with the Swede Mikael Ymer. But such a heavyweight Kasper Ruud (8 years old) had to prevent the battle with the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (32 years old).

Other results

Representatives of the upper half played in the women’s bracket that day, in which all 3 tennis players of the top 10 seeding, who reached the 3rd round, prevailed. But two of them were busy covering rackets on Saturday. Belarusian Arina Sabolenko (7) after a well-deserved starter set in Italian Camila Giorgi (28), not by chance took one of their hands and suffered devastatingly.

Indian Wells 2021 champion Paula Badosa (3) did not finish the match with Russian Veronika Kudermetova (29) due to knee dangers. And in the end, only one Iga Sviontek (1) reached the 4th round of the top 10, whose series of victorious matches has already reached the 31st.

Other results

By the way, with a large amount of US dollars, Russian tennis players fought in absentia at Roland Garros for the largest representation in the 4th round. Three men reached this stage – Khachanov, Rublev and Medvedev, as well as two women – Kasatkina and Kudermetova. For our men, this is generally a record of the domestic Grand Slam tournament. And our girls together until the 2nd week on the Helmets last got to the Australian Open – 2019. Then it was Maria Sharapova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. As for representation, 5 people is the highest status at the current Roland Garros among all countries. Russia ranks first and shares it with the United States. The last time five Russians in the second country of TSH was at the Australian Open Tennis Championship – 2013. Then it was only girls – Ekaterina Makarova, Maria Sharapova, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Elena Vesnina and Maria Kirilenko.

Schedule of the 8th day. Interesting matches on Sunday, May 29

On Sunday at Roland Garros, cases of infection of the 4th round should begin. The men have an interesting confrontation between Rafael Nadal (5) and Felix Auger-Aliassime (9), who are trained by the Spaniard’s uncle, Toni Nadal. He has already stated that he will not tell Felix how to defeat Rafa, but we expect what will come of it. Novak Djokovic (1) will be joined by Argentinean Diego Schwartzman (15). Karena Khachanova (21) with Spanish child prodigy Carlos Alcaras (6).

There are no Russian women left in the lower half of women. There are no representatives of the top 16 seeded there anymore. For many girls, this is almost the best performance at the Grand Slam tournaments. The only Sloane Stevens from this group has a lot of experience – she deserved the US Open – 2017, and Layla Fernandez became the finalist of the same tournament in 2021. So it is possible that before the elimination of the coincidence, someone new will break through this part of the grid.
