Roland Garros 2013: day 2 recap
No big names like yesterday (I had ground passes today), but some interesting matches and practice sessions.
I arrived quite late today and headed to court 9 to watch Mikhail Youhzny and John Isner at practice:
Melanie Oudin vs Tamira Paszek
All the courts were packed, so I made my way to court 17 to catch a bit of Oudin against Paszek.
20 minutes to play 3 games, it was a pain to watch and I left Court 17 for Court 10.
Ryan Harrison vs Andrey Kuznetsov
Sitting front row, I was able to watch the two young guns battle, but also to follow Nadal’s match on the big screen in front of Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Svetlana Kuznetsova vs Elena Makarova
From Kuznetsov on court 10 to Kuznetsova on court 6. A solid performance by Sveta and a 6-4 6-2 win over fellow compatriot Elena Makarova.
Also seen today: Heather Watson, Kirsten Flipkens, Elena Vesnina, Andreas Seppi, Janko Tipsarevic and even Conchita Martinez
And that’s it for Day 2 at Roland Garros, I’ve got Chatrier ticket tomorrow, so stay tuned for Djokovic pics and videos.
