The world number 43 had solid results this year with two finals in Bueno Aires and Estoril. I don’t know much about this player but he seems a good guy and it looked like he enjoyed his one-hour practice on the Lenglen.
He will face Federico Delbonis in the first round.
Angelique Kerber and Carla Suarez Navarro practiced together on court Suzanne Lenglen this afternoon, they warmed up, and then played a set.
Today was my first day at Roland Garros. I arrived just in time to watch the end of Rafa‘s training with uncle Toni on court Suzanne Lenglen. Rafa mostly worked on his backhand and drop shots. Here are a few pictures, enjoy!
Roland Garros officials have revoked Constant Lestienne‘s wild card. The world number 206 is under investigation of the Tennis Integrity Unit: he is believed to have bet on a Roland Garros match last year.
Update: at first I thought it was completely stupid as a player to bet on matches, but when I read on l’Equipe that Lestienne bet €2,90 to close his betting account, my opinion changed completely: Roland Garros officials is completely insane!
Check out my pictures of Constant Lestienne at the Open du Nord 2015 and stay tuned for more Roland Garros coverage.
Roger Federer pulls out of Roland Garros:
Federer’s withdrawal means that Rafael Nadal will be the number 4 seed and he won’t meet Djokovic until the semifinals.
Check out my pics of Roger Federer at Roland Garros last year, and follow our Roland Garros 2016 coverage.
