In the Simonne Mathieu, advanced in the afternoon, Matteo Gigante becomes immense, a 23 -year -old left -hander who delves into the crisis of a definitely denied figure. Will there be return? Stefanos Tsitsipas is not found, eliminated (6-4, 5-7, 6-2 and 6-4) and lately unrecognizable. The Greek has lost its way, which at the time (2021) came to corner Novak Djokovic in the Paris final – two sets above, ended up succumbing – and today falls and falls incessantly. Two second rounds and two first in the last four. That’s right, it is not. It does not refine. Some piece does not finish fit. Fixed in the circuit ointment in recent years, he has descended to position 25. “It hurts,” admits the Athenian. “This is a constant puzzle. I must reflect,” he continues, while Giant celebrates the “biggest” victory of his career, to some extent surprised by the outcome of a match that has immediately put it in his face. Another crooked day of tsitsipas. “He has done it exceptionally well, he has handled the moments of pressure very well. It is not easy to face a rival who does not know much. Today I have lost control, I have lacked maturity in some phases. But I am an optimistic person,” the Greek is reproached, whose curriculum —12 trophies, among them a glass of teachers and three thousand – falls short for a tennis player of his projection. There were dreams there. More information about their passage through the preparatory tour – the rooms of Montecarlo and Barcelona as more notable progressions – and, now, a lord tube in the initial ramps of Roland Garros. Congratulates giant, the name of the day, a Roman who attackets his hair and smiles without stopping, with his first victory against a top-10 and his best ranking (129), for the first time on the third scale of a great tournament. It comes from the qualifying phase. And brave he, determined. It smelled the doubts of the Greek and, despite not having succeeded the first, there is no trembling anywhere. It ends up and so, theoretically, the layout of Carlos Alcaraz is clearly cleared. Casper Ruud falls against Nuno Borges (2-6, 6-4, 6-1 and 6-0) and is mosque. Mediated the second set, some discomforts in the left knee appear and it is blurred to the irremediable: double finalist in Paris, now disappears early and, usually restrained, pull today with the offices, not without lack of reason: “If you take a break, the consequences in your ranking are fatal. Draw the Claradoruud loses its space among the ten strongest and reveals that it dragged problems from the beginning of the tour, in Montecarlo. He camouflaged them in the Magic Fund of Madrid, where he triumphed, but he had to give up Geneva last week and in the Boulogne Bois could barely overcome the premiere. Without him either in the painting, the Alcaraz route loses potential dangers and between racks everyone wonders if there is still someone capable of preventing him from flying towards the end of the 8th. Maybe Holger Rune, maybe Lorenzo Musetti. Beyond the Danish (6-3, 7-6 (5) and 6-3 to Emilio Nava) and the Italian, they do not get rid of pitches large enough to intimidate him. With the fallen Taylor Fritz (fourth head of series), Ruud (seventh), Tsitsipas (twenty), Tomas Machac (VigsimoPrimero), Brandon Nakashima (VigaSimovovovo), Perricard Mpetshi (TrigesimoPrimero) and Alex Michelsen (TrigesimosEgundo). In just two rounds, a clarified that adds to the kind raffle last Thursday. Meanwhile, on the other section they have to discuss Sinner, Zverev or Djokovic, to which they await a path with greater unevenness and try to gain time to acquire better competitive tone. On the other hand, among the girls it seems to have taken air IgA Swiatek, more intoned and without any setback in front of Emma Raducanu (6-1 and 6-2). His adversary in the final of a year ago and recent champion in Rome, Jasmine Paolini, also takes a good step and appeals to Ajljanovic (double 6-3). And, in Spanish key, Pablo Carreño (6-4, 6-3 and 6-1 for French Tiafoe) and the Valencian Leye Romero (Double 6-3 with Liudmila Samsonova) closes his first participation in a major. In any case, Paula Badosa and Jessica Bouzas, cited with Ana-Gabriela Ruse (15.00, Movistar+) and Robon Montgomery (13.00) respectively. Jaume Munar (Fils) and Alejandro Davidovich (Leheckka) will also compete. (Tagstotranslate) Tennis
