But look closely and you’ll see tennis is a chess match of movement and op- portunity as well as a gruelling exercise of conquering mind over matter.

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.

In her first singles on Centre Court in the Porsche Arena, the Australian overcame the local hero Laura Siegemund in straight sets 6-0, 7-5. The win on Wednesday has put the top favourite, who is making her debut in Stuttgart, in the quarterfinals. She has been joined in the round of the last eight by the Estonian Anett Kontaveit after her surprising 7-5, 6-4 triumph against the American Sofia Kenin and the title holder Petra Kvitova from the Czech Republic who edged past the Greek Maria Sakkari in a tight three-setter, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Angelique Kerber is not quite so far down the road yet, but the Porsche Brand Ambassador is on the right track. In cruising to a 6-2, 6-2 success against the lucky loser Ekaterine Gorgodze from Georgia, she has got off to a good start at the tournament she won in 2015 and 2016. “It’s great being back here,” she said after her opening victory. “The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is my home tournament. Even when one is rather alone out there in the arena without the fans, I feel very much at home here.” Her second-round match against the No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina (not before 6.30 pm CET) promises to be a far tougher affair.

  • Maria Sakkari (August 03, 2019)
    Maria Sakkari (August 03, 2019) Q: “Maria, take us through the match. After the tight first set that ended in a tiebreaker, 7-6, it seemed like you got frustrated in the second set. You were talking to your coach, what was going on out there?” A: “Well, I think I played really, really bad for the whole match. I was not even playing my minimum level. I think [Zheng Saisai] has a tricky game, which played a huge role in the match. And I think that my level was pretty poor today, after coming from a match win like the one yesterday [against Elina Svitolina].” Q: “What do you think changed from yesterday to today’s preparation?” A: “Nothing changed, I think it’s just that maybe I was a little mentally fatigued after coming back yesterday from set and 5-2 down [against Svitolina]. So I think [that is] one of the reasons was that I was a little tired.” Q: “What do you take out of this week then... going into the rest of your season and, of course, the US Open?” A: “Of course, I don’t feel like I played in any match, except maybe the first one, that I played lights out tennis. At the moment, I’m not satisfied from the tournament because I’m really sad with my loss today. But I’m sure, probably tomorrow, I’ll think things differently. I will see the good parts. I fought hard for two matches and came back from a step away from losing.” Q: “How long does it take for you to get over a match.
