Casper Ruud resumes, Holger Rune and Iga Swiatek expected on the Chatrier… Follow Saturday

The first week of Roland-Garros 2023 is almost over, and without the French all eliminated, tension is building on the courts. Not the one of racket stringing, but the one that makes your legs shake and your brain wander as the final draw approaches. After the qualifiers on Friday, among others, of Djokovic, Tsitsipas and Alcaraz for the men, and those of Stephens, Sabalenka and Svitolina for the women, other contenders come forward on Saturday 3 June.

Elena Rybakina surrendered in the women’s draw, while the world number one Iga Swiatek faced the Chinese Xiyu Wang in the early afternoon, while in the wake the Tunisian star Ons Jabeur challenged Olga Danilovic. Ruud, Rune and Altamaier are expected in the men’s field, while Zverev will close the day against Tiafoe. Taylor Fritz’s return to court screamed Thursday is also worth watching. The American will face the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo.
