Rafael Nadal in action -

CHRISTOPHE SAIDI / SIPA

The program for Monday, September 28

Poster of the day

After Wawrinka-Murray, new poster between holders of Grand Slam titles.

Dominic Thiem, co-favorite with Nadal and Djokovic and recent US Open winner, faces Marin Cilic, a title at Flushing Meadows as well.

The Croatian has almost nothing more than his name to him but you never know, if he annoys the Austrian entry ... The most likely remains that Marin struggles against Thiem and leaves Paname after a fight in three sets.

The favorites in the running

In addition to the finalist of the last two editions, we will find the winner of the last three, Rafael Nadal, at the end of the day on the Philippe-Chatrier.

The Spaniard should go against poor Gerasimov.

Just before him, Serena Williams will enter the tournament against her compatriot Kristie Ahn (O'Ronaldo).

On the Lenglen, we will monitor the meeting of Francophile Daniil Medvedev, to whom we will join when there are no more French at Roland.

Svitolina and Bertens will play on this same Lenglen before.

The French of the day

Océane Dodin opening on the Central, the Monf 'on the Lenglen in the aprem, Pierre-Hugues Herbert on court n ° 14 and the sororicidal duel between Chloé Paquet and Alizé Cornet on the Simonne-Mathieu, there will be plenty put some French in their mouths this Monday.

And again, let's not forget that Corentin Moutet will have to return to the courts to finish off against Giustino.

As a reminder, it is not very well on board for our national Coco (a set everywhere and a station wagon for the Italian).

Weather

Rain.

Cold.

Clouds.

Rain.

Depressed.

The sentence of the day

It's hard not to quote once again Azarenka's catchphrase on playing conditions in Paris.

“It must be eight degrees, I live in Florida and I'm used to the heat.

I'm not going to stay here because I'm cold ”.

We were on the verge of sympathy, but since she is very warm the rest of the year ...

The daring prediction of the day

Fabio Fognini will lose to enter against Kukushkin out of sheer laziness to play in such a quagmire.

He will lose by forfeit after bursting all his racket stock at the loss of the second set and will be happy to return to Italy to enjoy the sun.
