Schwartzman has already broken it In the third set, she kept her serve to take a 3-0 lead, looking ready for the third round. If he succeeds, he will play the winner of the match between Norbert Gumbos and Yurig Rodionov taking place at Stadium 11. Gumbos, the world number 106, is 30 years old – who should be ready to return to the top 100. It was explored for a few months in 2017 – it’s 6-2, 2-6, 4-3 in that, a break for good in the third.

MacDonald wins the first match From the third group, and thus progressing in the group for the first time. Luke Forrester wrote, “Whisper, but I actually think I’d rather have a very small crowd.” “The crowd at Roland-Garros is usually very annoying, and it’s nice to see players able to serve without the regular interruptions crying out from the stands.” But without an audience, who will laugh when the ball gets stuck in the net? Or when the pigeons do something unexpected? World Health Organization?

Kiki Bertens was playing through the pain barrier, and he fell to the ground crying after winning that match point. She has now asked for a wheelchair to help her off the field, and she’s even struggling to move her knee. It seems unlikely that she will be able to play the third round match that she just won.
09:19
Those early accomplishments that MacDonald had already achieved long ago – Nadal immediately broke at the start of the second set, and the American looks pissed off that a series of rallies end the same way – with the whistling of a forehand blow out of reach for Nadal. Two losing shots past Deuce included a double-break for Nadal, who has now won eight games in a row.

Kiki Bertens beats Sara Irani 7-6, 3-6, 9-7! After eight consecutive breaks from serving, Bertens grabbed and then raced to 0-40 with a completely unconvincing Iranian serve. The Italian somehow saved them all, even sending an underarm serve at one point – but Bertens gets another chance and ultimately wins the match at a great angle.
Here’s a blast from the past – Eugenie Bouchard She managed to settle her match with Daria Gavrilova with one set. Bouchard, who has reached the final of the previous Wimbledon tournament, is chasing her first trip to the third round of the Slam since January 2017.

Stan Wawrinka defeats Dominic Kupfer 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 To reach the third round! He really looks good, and he will next play the winner of the match between Hugo Gaston, 20-year-old Frenchman No. 239, and Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. This is currently going on at Field 5 and is going in favor of the French a lot: leading 6-4, 7-6, 1-0 (in the serve), another game that seems to be decided on small margins – there is very little in the stats to divide them except for the break points he won – Gaston won three from six, and Nishioka won two from 14!

Azarenka got two play points there but abandoned them excessively (she’s now 18-7 due to unintended mistakes in this group) and now has a hell of a fight on her hands if she would stay in this tournament and didn’t. Look remotely inclined to win.
