The first round of the 2023 edition of Roland-Garros began on Sunday and will continue until Tuesday. Monday, May 28, the favorites of the men’s draw will begin to tread the Parisian clay court.
In men, the event of the day is the entry into the running of the two favorites of the tournament, the world number 1 Carlos Alcaraz and the Serbian Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard will play his first match against Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli on the Suzanne-Lenglen court, while Djokovic will take center stage honors, where he will challenge American Aleksandar Kovacevic. Also note the start of the tournament of the promising Félix Auger-Aliassime (n° 10) against the experienced Fabio Fognini.
On the women’s side, the main headliner will be French. Caroline Garcia will take over from Novak Djokovic on center court, where she will face Chinese Wang Qiang. The Czech Peter Kvitov (n° 10) will face the Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto, and Belinda Bencic (#12) will play against Elina Avanesyan.
Besides Caroline Garcia, there will be Blues everywhere on the courts this Monday. Alexandre Mueller will end the day in front of Jannik Sinner (No. 8), on the occasion of the first night of the fortnight on the Philippe-Chatrier court. The French hopefuls will also be out: Arthur Son will face Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (No. 29), and Luca Van Assche will cross swords with Marco Cecchinato.
