This Sunday, starting at 6 in the morning in Argentina, the 2024 edition of Roland Garros, which will this time feature eight Argentine singles players in the main draw: Sebastián Báez, Francisco Cerúndolo, Tomás Etcheverry, Mariano Navone, Federico Coria, Pedro Cachín, Thiago Tirante and Román Burruchaga.
Meanwhile, Nadia Podoroska, Lourdes Carlé and Julia Riera appear among the women, this being the first time with three Argentines in the main draw of a Major since Gisela Dulko, Maria Emilia Salerni and Clarissa Fernández participated in the 2008 Australian Open.
The first to come out on the court will be Tirante, 109th in the world ranking, who will face the Spanish Pedro Martínez (48th) on court 8. It will be the second participation of the 23-year-old from La Plata in a tournament of this category. The previous one, also in Paris, was last year, when he surpassed the qualy and beat the Dutch Botic Van de Zandschulp in the first round before losing in the second match against the Chinese Zhizhen Zhang.
If he wins and achieves one of the best victories of his career, Tirante would face in the second round the winner of the duel between the Russian Andrey Rublev, 6th in the world, and the Japanese Taro Daniel (80th), who will face each other in the first round of the Court Simonne Mathieu.
Meanwhile, another of the notable presences this Sunday will be that of the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, third in the world ranking and one of the favorites to win the title. The 21-year-old from Murcia, a semi-finalist last year at the Bois de Boulogne, will face the lucky loser American Jeffrey John Wolf in the second round of the Philippe Chatrier, whose action will begin at 10 with the clash between the Japanese Naomi Osaka and the Italian Lucía Bronzetti.
In addition, there will be a clash of triple Grand Slam champions between Andy Murray y Stanislas Wawrinka. Curiously, the Briton’s last two matches at Roland Garros were against Stan: in the first round of the 2020 edition and in the 2017 semifinals, both with victory for the Swiss. Now they will see each other again.
And the Chileans will also take to the field Nicholas Jarry y Alejandro Tabilo, of outstanding performance at the Rome Masters 1000 (they were finalist and semi-finalist respectively). Jarry will close the day of the Simonne-Mathieu against the local Corentin Moutet and Tabilo will clash with the Belgian Zizou Bergs in the third round on court 13.
