At Roland Garros,
The noise had been circulating since Friday, when the French number 1 had to withdraw from the double to preserve her adductors.
Alas, we quickly had confirmation on the court on Friday: Alizé Cornet was in no condition to defend his chances in the 3rd round of Roland-Garros against the young hopeful Zhang, affected in the adductors since his victory against Ostapenko on Wednesday.
A match that she had ignited with the help of the Central public, much less understanding this Friday when the Niçoise decided to throw in the towel 6-0, 3-0 against her.
Accompanied under a few boos, Cornet had tears in his eyes in front of us a little half an hour after his exit: “What makes me hallucinate is that part of the public dared to boo me.
The French public surprises me, but not always in a good way.
Again it's only a handful of morons but it hurts my heart.
A first hiccup in a first week which saw French supporters play a big role in the honorable record of local players during the first week.
They will have much less reason to be enthusiastic from Sunday.
