The Roland-Garros female picture reserves us its share of surprises with each edition. This year, it was the Italian Martina Trevisan who managed to make her way to the semi -finals of a tournament, who, as every year, saw the head of the standard – the number A world and winner of the tournament in 2020, the Polish Iga Swiatek, is the only representative of the top 10 still in the running.

Tuesday, Transalpine, only 59 in the WTA ranking, got rid of the Canadian Leylah Fernandez (17 e global) in three sets 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, his first match of the three-round tournament. With this qualification in the semi-finals, Trevisan has the best performance of his Grand Slam career at 28 years old. In 2020, the Florentine hoisted himself in the quarterfinals of the Parisian Major, eliminated by Swiatek, which will raise the Suzanne-Lenglen Cup that year. The Italian will be opposed Thursday to the winning of the match between Cori Gauff and Sloane Stephens.

The figure of the day

Or the number of confrontations on the ATP circuit between Novak Djokovic and Rafaël Nadal. The Serbian leads 30 to 28 in duels, but it is the Spaniard who still dictates his law in Grand Slam (10-7) and especially on clay (19-8, including 7 victories for two in Roland-Garros) .
