Roland-Garros Les Bleus all eliminated, it goes for Tsitsipas, what to remember from the day on Saturday

10:56 p.m .: the step was too high for Gaston

Last French in the running, Hugo Gaston did not save the terrible record of the day on the Blues side, with a fifth defeat, so that there will be no Habs in the round of 16.

The Toulousain was overtaken by the Danish prodigy Holger Rune in three sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-3). The 40th player in the world will have a big test on Monday, in the person of Stefanos Tsitsipas (N.4).

9:25 p.m .: Ruud is doing well

As Hugo Gaston and Holger Rune started the last game of the day, the No.8 seed Casper Ruud finally got out of the Lorenzo Sonego trap. The Italian pushed the Norwegian to the 5th set (6-2, 6-7, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3) and gave in after 3:24 of play.
Ruud will challenge Hurkacz in the round of 16 on Monday/

6:27 p.m .: Tsitsipas wins in three sets

It passes for Tsitsipas. Without trembling, the Greek is reassured after having already conceded four sets in his first two games. This time, he won three sets to nil against the Swede Mikel Ymer: 6-2, 6-2, 6-1. The world No.4 will face in the round of 16 either the Dane Holger Rune or the last tricolor survivor Hugo Gaston.

6:20 p.m .: Hurkacz dismisses Goffin

After having battled in the first set (7-5), the Pole Hubert Hurkacz then played his game against David Goffin. He won in three sets: 7-5, 6-2, 6-1. The world No.12 will face the winner of the match between Casper Ruud and Lorenzo Sonego, scheduled in stride.

5:54 p.m .: Tsitsipas unfolds against Ymer

If he had to work in the first and second round, the world No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently going through the third round without difficulty, which opposes him to the Swede Mikael Ymer. The Greek offered the first two sets with the same score (6-2) and broke his opponent at the start of the third set.

5.20 p.m .: End clap for Gilles Simon

Gilles Simon, 158th in the world, said goodbye to Roland-Garros on Saturday’s elimination in the 3rd round by the Croatian Marin Cilic (23rd) 6-0, 6-3, 6-2, appearing very emotional after the match point while the public chanted “Gilou”.

The 37-year-old Frenchman announced on May 7 that he would end his career at the end of the season. For his part, Marin Cilic will face in the round of 16 the world No.2 Daniil Medvedev who has been impressive since the start of the tournament where he has not yet lost a single set.

4:33 p.m .: Simon loses the second set and finds himself back against the wall

Gilles Simon resisted Cilic more than in the first one-sided round, but that wasn’t enough: the Croatian won 6-3 and found himself one set away from the round of 16.

4:22 p.m .: Paula Badosa gives up!

The world N.4 Paula Badosa gave up on Saturday in the third round of Roland-Garros when she was led 6-3, 2-1 by the Russian Veronika Kudermetova. The Spaniard, who requested a medical break for right knee pain late in the first set, threw in the towel after being broken in the second. With her retirement, the world No.1 Iga Swiatek is the only survivor of the top 10 before the second week.

4:12 p.m .: Pegula and Kasatkina ensure, Sabalenka is disillusioned

Decidedly, Aryna Sabalenka does not succeed at Roland-Garros. The Belarusian, who has never passed the 3rd round in 5 participations, lost again at the gates of the eighth against the Italian Camila Giorgi (N.28) in three sets 4-6, 6-1, 6 -0. Unlike the world No.7, the other favorites assumed their status: Pegula dismissed Zidansek 6-1, 7-6 (7/2) and Kasatkina got the better of Rogers 6-3, 6-2.

3:49 p.m .: The ordeal of the French continues

Like Alizé Cornet before him, Gilles Simon takes a bubble for the first set against Marin Cilic. Broken from the 2nd game, the Frenchman did not manage to put the Croatian in difficulty and absolutely must show something else to hope for the eighth.

3:15 p.m .: Gilles Simon starts against Cilic

Will Gilles Simon be able to restore the French coat of arms, damaged since yesterday? The Niçois begins his match against Marin Cilic (N.20). It is the Croatian who serves.

2:47 p.m .: Cornet gives up, it’s over for the French at Roland-Garros

The French N.1 Alizé Cornet, 40th in the world, diminished by thigh pain contracted in the previous round, gave up on Saturday during her third round match against the Chinese Qinwen Zheng (74th), when she was behind 6 -0, 3-0.

There is no longer any Frenchwoman in contention in the Parisian Grand Slam after the eliminations of Diane Parry on Friday and Léolia Jeanjean on Saturday at the start of the day. On Thursday, the 40th in the world, who reached the quarters this year at the Australian Open, seemed to feel pain in the inside and top of her left thigh during her winning match against Latvian Jelena Ostapenko, 13th and winner of the tournament in 2017.

2:39 p.m .: Zheng sticks a bubble to Cornet!

Alizé Cornet drops the first set to his opponent with a score of 6-0. The Frenchwoman seems very borrowed and unable to respond to Zheng’s very offensive game.

2:30 p.m .: Medvedev expedited with Kecmanovic

The world No.2 left almost nothing to his Serbian opponent (N.28) by winning in three sets 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. He will find the winner of the match between Cilic and… Gilles Simon in the next round.

2:22 p.m .: Cornet in difficulty

Very complicated start to the match for the Frenchwoman. Broken from the start, she is now three games behind (3-0) over her opponent, the Chinese Zheng.

2:10 p.m .: Sinner and Rublev spin in eighths

The Italian Jannik Sinner (N.11) sent his third round in three sets against the American Mcdonald, 60th in the world (6-3, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3). Sinner notably saved 11 set points in the second set to finally win the tie-break.

Unlike Sinner, Russian Andrey Rublev (N.7) dropped a set to Chilean Christian Garin, ranked 37th and beaten 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (13/11). But Rublev found the resources to conclude by saving five equalizers in two sets everywhere.

The two men will meet in the eighth on Monday.

2 p.m.: Let’s go for Alizé Cornet!

The last Frenchwoman in the running serves to open this match against the Chinese Qinwen Zheng, 74th in the world.

1:50 p.m.: Swiatek continues on his way

It’s a walk in the park for world No.1 Iga Swiatek. After two quick first rounds, the Pole qualified for the round of 16 by dismissing Danka Kovinic in two sets 6-3, 7-5. She can potentially find herself facing Alizé Cornet if the latter wins.

1:10 p.m.: End of the Jeanjean fairy tale

The step was too high for Leolia Jeanjean. The Frenchwoman, who wrote the most beautiful story of Roland-Garros, was outclassed on Saturday in the third round, 6-1, 6-4, by the Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu. After knocking down world No.8 Karolina Pliskova, Jeanjean’s register did not surprise Begu, ranked 63rd. Facing the Romanian, as if midnight had struck for the Cinderella of the Porte d’Auteuil, Leolia Jeanjean, who points to 227th place in the world, multiplied the unforced errors (27) despite the conjurations from the stands of the Suzanne-Lenglen court.

1:00 p.m.: Welcome to this live!

Continuation and end of the third round on the female and male tables. Among the headliners, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev are expected. Among the French, Alizé Cornet will have to get rid of the Chinese Qinwen Zheng, Gilles Simon of Marin Cilic and Hugo Gaston of Holger Rune in the night session.
