Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.

  • Kinder+Sport Tennis Trophy 2017
    KINDER+SPORT TENNIS TROPHY 2017 Summer on the court for thousands of young people at the first international tennis tournament organized by Sports Events, FIT and Kinder+Sport. Kinder+Sport Tennis Trophy is the first international tennis tournament for boys and girls aged 9 to 16, organized by Sports Events in collaboration with the Italian Tennis Federation (FIT) and Kinder+Sport.

An exciting circuit with thousands of young participants, where the winners of each of the 20 tournaments will challenge each other in Italy during the International Master in Rome, from 25 to 30 August 2017. The initiative is an idea by tennis pro Rita Grande, Italian former champion, in collaboration with Kinder+Sport Joy of moving, aimed at boosting active liFestyles and spreading this sport discipline amongst the new generations. An event born in Italy, which already counted 28 tournaments and 3,000 subscribers in its first edition in 2006, and has been growing steadily in time; the eleventh edition in 2016 boasted 141 tournaments in 19 Italian regions and more than 18,000 subscribers. For the First time this year, the tournament expands to the international circuit, in order to develop and spread with an even bigger focus the core values of the Kinder+Sport project, such as trust in oneself and in others, integration, friendship and respect. The matches will be rather unique, as they will be played without umpires: the young players will have the possibility to enjoy themselves and give their very best while guided by a highly educational fair play code.

The Serb, who won the title here in 2016, has never lost to a lucky loser in 9 previous meetings with lucky losers at Tour-level. Should Switzerland’s Laaksonen become the first lucky loser to defeat Djokovic, he will join compatriots Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka in the 3rd round – which would be just the 2nd time in the Open Era that 3 Swiss men have reached the 3rd round at a major, after the 2006 US Open, when Federer, Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli all reached that stage. • No. 5 seed Alexander Zverev plays the 2nd match on Court Simonne Mathieu, taking on Swedish qualifier Mikael Ymer. The pair have met once previously, as teenagers at Stockholm in 2015, with Zverev triumphing in 3 tight sets.
