2019 Roland Garros Day 3 Men's Notes
2019 ROLAND GARROS DAY 3 MEN’S NOTES Tuesday 28 May 1st Round Featured matches No. 5 Alexander Zverev (GER) v John Millman (AUS) No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) v Nicolas Jarry (CHI) No. 9 Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Andreas Seppi (ITA) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v Cedrik-Marcel Stebe (GER) No. 14 Gael Monfils (FRA) v Taro Daniel (JPN) No. 18 Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) v Steve Johnson (USA) No. 22 Lucas Pouille (FRA) v (Q) Simone Bolelli (ITA) (Q) Stefano Travaglia (ITA) v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) On court today… • France’s top 2 players begin their Roland Garros campaigns today, with Gael Monfils up against Taro Daniel on Court Philippe Chatrier and Lucas Pouille playing Simone Bolelli on Court Suzanne Lenglen. 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.
