That's it, the serious things begin this Tuesday on the side of the Porte d'Auteuil with the beginning of the quarter-finals. The more days go by, the fewer matches are on the program - although, the juniors have started their tournament - but the posters have more and more mouths. See instead.

  • Today's poster

Once is not customary, the poster of the day will be a poster of the evening. And what a poster children! On my right, the world number 1 and announced successor of Rafael Nadal: Carlooooos Alcaraaaaaaaaz! And to my left, Greek angel hair and an immoderate love for clay: Steeeeeefanos Tsitsipaaaaaas! (It's okay, our career as a speaker at Roland is validated by the street?). If Alcaraz beats everything that comes his way since the beginning of the tournament, we want to believe that the Greek, seeded number 5, does not intend to act as a pain reliever Tuesday night.



  • Today's favourites

At the center of all attention, and not necessarily from a sporting point of view, the Belarusian world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka faces the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (or the French Eline Svitolline, it depends) in a match that again smells of geopolitical tension. In an incredible form, just three months after giving birth to the daughter she had with Gaël Monfils, Svitolina would dream of hitting Sabalenka to offer herself an absolutely unexpected place in the semifinals. To achieve this, she should be able to count on the support of the Central public and that of Monfils, at the cleat behind her since her last-minute forfeit. In the process, on the men's side, Novak Djokovic and his magic patch will face Karen Kachanov on the Central.

  • The French of the day

To find a trace of a tricolor, it will be necessary either to turn to the junior tournament, or to that of the Legends, which begins this Tuesday. We will be pleased to find Nathalie Tauziat, associated with Caroline Wozniacki, against the Argentine pair Dulko-Sabatini.

  • The daring prono of the day

We're starting to run out of ideas there... So we will keep it simple and bet our ELP (and that of the neighbor) on the victory of Svitolina against Sabalenka. Well yes, we are patriots, it would be nice not to support and believe in our last chance of victory (a little) French singles at Roland.
