Poster of the day
We usually defend ourselves when it comes to selling dreams to our beloved readers, but the mission seems almost impossible this time when we watch Thursday's program.
Quite a few seeds will be present on Roland's fields, but no sensational poster really emerges.
But hey, since we have to choose, let's say we will have a close eye on the match between Tsitsipas (seed number 5) and Pablo Cuevas, not clumsy on clay, if only to remember this point. incredible from the Urugayan in the final at Estoril in 2019 against… Tsitsipas.

The favorites of the day
In addition to Tsitsipas, quite a few big fish will be back on ocher on Thursday.
Let us quote jumble Djoko against Berankis, Berrettini (seeded n ° 7) vis-a-vis South African Harrys or Denis Shapovalov (n ° 9) opposed to Carballes Baena.
The French of the day
As you can imagine, the more days go by at Roland, the less we will have to write about here.
We want as proof the berezinada on Tuesday which saw nine French tricolors take the door on the ten entered at the start of the day.
If Hugo Gaston saved the honor of the male homeland by leaving brilliantly Nishioka in four sets, he will not play again until Friday.
There are therefore three French women engaged on Thursday.
Fiona Ferro, Alizé Cornet and Clara Burel will be opposed respectively to the Ukrainian Rybakina, the Chinese Zhang and the Slovak Juvan.
Weather
If we thought, looking at the weather forecast for two weeks, that this tournament was going to offer us a festival of interruptions and organized gang tarps, it is clear that we are not doing so badly for the moment.
And, oh miracle, it would seem that Thursday even gives us an almost sunny afternoon.
So is not life beautiful ?
The sentence of the day
Less than a sentence, a word.
A swear word.
In Italian.
Eliminated by Bertens after having left a game below everything in service, Sara Errani was in all her forms when leaving the court.
And while the Belgian went out in a wheelchair after her victory, the young Italian launched a
vaffanculo
of the families which, almost behind closed doors, obliges Porte D'Auteuil to resonate more than reason.
The rest of the confusion?
We tell you about it here.

The daring bet of the day
Given what our French take in this horror Roland, we had a dream.
Yes, that of seeing the young Clara Burel extend her dream (and ours) a little longer on Parisian clay.
After beating the Dutch Arantxa Rus, 67th player in the world, at the end of a real marathon, we want to believe that the young Breton still has some in the trunk.
Opposed to the Slovenian Kaja Juvan, 103rd player in the world, Burel can become the French heroine of this 2020 edition.
