Preamble
Salut et bienvenue à Roland-Garros 2025 – cinquième jour!
And – of course – it’s another ridiculous bangeur. Premières portes, we’ve got Mirra Andreeva – Ashlyn Kruger might give her a decent game – Arthur Fils, Jakub Mensik, Alex de Minaur and Jessica Pegula.
Then, as the day unfolds, local legend Richard Gasquet takes on Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev meets Jesper de Jong, with Coco Gauff, Andrey Rublev and Barbora Krejcikova also in action.
Mais ce n’est pas ça! Later in the day comes potentially the match of the day, MC Corentin Moutet against Novak Djokovic, impressive in round one but now facing a much sterner, more mercurial test.
Meantime, Paulo Badosa, so impressive in beating Naomi Osaka, also returns; the US Open Madison Keys – and what a thrill it remains to type those words – plays Katie Boulter; it’s Jacob Fearnley v Ugo Humbert; an Italian derby as Flavio Cobolli and Matteo Arnaldi convene; Cameron Norrie, now with the no 11 seed’s path through the draw, has a winnable contest against Federico Gomez; and we’ve another chance to enjoy the future legend, Joao Fonseca; before, in the evening session, Jack Draper encounters Gaël Monfils.
Franchement, c’est absolument ridicule! Chauette et on y va!
Play: 11am local, 10am BST.
