It's the end of the quarter-finals this Wednesday at Roland-Garros.
If the posters are less flamboyant on paper than the day before, there is still something to vibrate for his last tickets to take for the last four of the tournament.
Scandinavian poster of the day
Between the Danish Holger Rune on one side and the Norwegian Casper Ruud on the other, it is a 100% Scandinavian poster which is scheduled this Wednesday night (9 p.m.).
If the winner will play the first grand slam semi-final of his career, it is difficult to really identify a favorite.
Seeded No. 8, Ruud has the advantage in his direct confrontations against Rune with three victories in their three confrontations, the last of which was in April on the clay courts of Monte Carlo.
But Holger Rune, 40th at the ATP, has impressed since the start of the tournament, culminating in his success in the round of 16 against Tsitsipas, a finalist here last year.
The only certainty: it will hit hard on center court.
Today's favorites
Who will stop Iga Swiatek?
The Pole, who remains on an incredible series of 32 straight wins, faces the American Pegula, seeded n°11, in the quarter.
A real test for the Pole who suffered in the previous round against the Chinese Zheng, the only player to have taken a set from her for a month.
To see if it was just a simple warning for the world number 1.
On the men's side, we will closely follow the other quarter-final between the returning Marin Cilic, 33, who is aiming for his first half at Roland, and the Russian Andrey Rublev, seeded n°7, who hopes to reach the last four. a grand slam for the first time in his career.
The French of the day
Lol.
Finally no, there are doubles, there are juniors, there is the legends tournament but there is still no French in the second week in the main draw of Roland-Garros.
Today's weather
If the matches are not necessarily crazy, we will be able to console ourselves with beautiful weather.
Sun and a thermometer that pushes up to 22 degrees in the afternoon.
Summer is starting to arrive and it feels good after the cold of the last few days.
The unlikely prediction of the day
In the 100% Russian and 100% Scrabble duel of the day, it is difficult to identify a favorite between Kudermetova and Kasatkina.
For the surprise, we will bet on the first which had never done better before a 3rd round in grand slam.
And neither of the two players has ever reached the last four.
Reason doesn't have a clue but heart says Kudermetova for the extra letter in the name.
