Very busy schedule on this public holiday in Bercy. The day after the surprise elimination of Carlos Alcaraz, the second rounds will continue with several headliners on the menu. The two finalists of the 2022 edition are notably entering the running.
Starting with Novak Djokovic who will officially end his six weeks of rest against the Argentinian Etcheverry. A little later on the center court, the storm Holger Rune will battle against a ghost, Dominic Thiem. Plunged into chaos after his coronation at the US Open in 2020, the Austrian unexpectedly overthrew Stanislas Wawrinka this Monday.
The last match of the afternoon will inevitably be the attraction of the day. Ugo Humbert, the only bright spot in the French slump, will try to achieve the feat against world number nine Alexander Zverev. Very strong at the end of the season, the Frenchman has arguments to put forward and will be able to count on the support of the Accor Arena. ” I feel good. The public is there and will give me a little extra energy,” assured Messin.
We will also have to monitor the reception given to his opponent, whose sentence of 450,000 euros for domestic violence against his former partner we learned on Tuesday evening. Found guilty of “assault”, he appealed this decision.
