The program for Sunday, September 27

Poster of the day

Without a doubt, it will be the duel between Wawrinka and Murray.

Semi-final here in 2017, this poster will be a first round since the Scotsman fell to the bottom of the ATP rankings following his injury.

We can't wait to see if Murray will be able to keep up.

The organization has chosen to place this meeting in fourth place in the program on the Central.

The favorites in the running 

We will start slowly this Sunday.

No Nadal or Djokovic, but we will be entitled to Goffin and Zverev, respectively against Sinner and Novak.

In the women's category, world N ° 1 Simona Halep will be in the center in the afternoon against Sorribes-Tormo. 

The French of the day 

We won't see that much for a first day at Roland.

Two headliners of French tennis will still be on the courts, as Caroline Garcia will face Estonian Kontaveit on the Central while Benoit Paire will be opposed to Korean Kwom on Simonne-Mathieu.

Otherwise, Chardy, Benchetrit, Hoang, Moutet and Bonzi will also be on the courts ... Finally, if the rain wants it.

Weather

Precisely, the rain, let's talk about it.

There is a risk of terrible weather in Paris for the start of the Roland-Garros week, with a rainy Sunday throughout.

So of course, we can play on the Central with the new roof, but for the rest of the courts it may be a bit complicated.

This Roland is going to be a real pain ...

The sentence of the day 

“I'm not doing my 39 years”.

In a press conference before the start of the competition, Serena Williams assured not to think about retirement yet.

“I don't know when this will end for me.

I'm just having fun.

If I feel it's over, it's over ”.

The daring prediction of the day 

For those who have seen the Murray-Wawrinka of 2017, we can imagine such a scenario.

With a Murray back to (almost) the best of his form, in an epic match, we left for the first night session match in Roland's history.

Started at 6.30pm, this match ends just around midnight with a victory for the Scotsman in the fifth set, thanks to the new roof and nighttime lighting introduced this year.
