The 2023 edition of Roland-Garros was marked by a battle other than the sporting one: the battle of programming. Night session, order of the semi-finals, or choice of courts for some matches, the organizers have engaged in a real headache this year.
Novak Djokovic-Alcaraz or Zverev-Ruud was going to be played first this Friday, on the occasion of the semifinals of the men's singles draw. Despite pressure from broadcasters and global televisions like the American giant Tennis Channel, it is indeed the duel between the Serb and the Spaniard that will be playing first, from 14:45.
