Roland-Garros live: Barrere qualifies for the second round, not Halys

The 19-year-old Spaniard, 6th in the world, faces the Argentinian Londero in the last game of the day on center court.

Clara Burel, 94th in the world, gave in to the powerful attacks of the Greek Maria Sakkari (3rd) who won this Sunday 6-2, 6-3 on the 1st day of Roland-Garros.

Sakkari, a semifinalist last year, will face the Czech Karolina Muchova (81st) who fired another Frenchwoman, Carole Monnet (253rd). Facing Sakkari, Burel endured the confrontation but made mistakes that did not allow him to break the Greek fortress.

Such as the first set where he conceded a first break on a double fault, before offering the round to his opponent in a completely failed service game where he committed an unforced error and three double faults, including two straight into the last two points. .

In the second set, Burel immediately took his opponent’s serve, but the latter caught up and hit the decisive break to lead 5-3 on the serve that followed to conclude.

He jumped at the chance and capitalized on one last unforced error by Burel (27th overall) to win. During his first participation, in 2020, Burel had reached the 3rd round. But last year, like this year, he retired.

Clara Burel is the third of the four French women competing on Sunday to be eliminated after Harmony Tan and Carole Monnet. Kristina Mladenovic faces Leylah Fernandez at night. In the men’s draw, Quentin Halys was eliminated but Grégoire Barrère qualified.

Leading two sets to love, the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime (n°9) overcame the Préuvien Varillas, of the classification (2-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3) and went up with the second round

Frenchman Quentin Halys resisted the giant John Isner until the end, but lost in 4 sets (7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 7-6). He is the 3rd Habs to be eliminated after Tan and Monnet in girls.

Frenchman Grégoire Barrère managed to get out of Japanese Taro Daniel’s trap and won in five sets (3-6, 6-2, 0-6, 6-3, 6-4). He could face a compatriot in the next round if Quentin Halys manages to get rid of American giant John Isner. The match is currently very tight: a round between the two men.

Facing Andrey Kuznetsov, Diego Schwartzman secured his qualification. However, the Argentine got scared in the second set by losing 6-1. But the one who was the favorite on paper did not hesitate much and he won his match of the day (3-6, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6).

The fight is fierce between Taro Daniel and Grégoire Barrère. Defeated in the third set, the Frenchman won the next round which allowed him to put the accounts to zero (3-6).

In 2016, when Geoffrey Blancaneaux won junior Roland-Garros against Félix Auger-Aliassime, Michel, his father, had crazy dreams for his son. He played on his birth date – August 8 like Roger Federer … – to the point of creating a trademark. The road was more tortuous than expected but six years later, the Val-de-Marnais rider, 195th in the world, lived a great moment in his career by overcoming the hurdle of classification. He will play his first Roland this Monday against the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.

World No. 1 and heavy favorite in the women’s draw Iga Swiatek will open the second day of Roland-Garros on Monday at the Central, where she will be succeeded by Rafael Nadal, then defending men’s champion Novak Djokovic for the first night of the 2022 edition.

Ten Frenchmen will take part in the competition, including Diane Parry, who will face defending champion Barbora Krejcikova on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Corentin Moutet, who will play Stan Wawrinka at Suzanne-Lenglen, and Richard Gasquet, who will challenge Lloyd Harris there. .

Océane Dodin, Manuel Guinard and Benoît Paire will perform at the Simonne-Mathieu.

Like Harmony Tan, France’s Carole Monnet also lost to Karolina Muchova in straight sets (3-6, 3-6).

Eliminated in the first round by Camila Osorio (6-4, 6-3), Harmony Tan confided in this defeat before the microphone of RMC Sport: “I had a moment of frustration in the first set. I don’t have too many, I regret the game. I committed some mistakes, but at least I didn’t push the ball today.

The Frenchwoman also congratulated her opponent on the day: “We already played last year, I knew she was a girl with a varied game. She raised her level of play, at first she was more shy, she relaxed, she played”. good today.”

If he had lost the first set against Taro Daniel (6-3), Grégoire Barrère knew how to recover by winning the second set (2-6). But the Japanese took control of the match by winning the third set (6-0). The Frenchman no longer has the right to make mistakes.

In this first round, the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime started his match badly Juan Pablo Varillas. To everyone’s surprise, the ninth in the ATP ranking conceded the first set (2-6). There is still a long way to go for your opponent before creating an exploit.

The Tunisian, 6th in the world, was defeated in 3 sets by the Polish Magda Linette (6-3, 6-7, 5-7). Great disappointment for the one who won the Madrid tournament, marginalized in this Roland-Garros behind the number one in the world, Iga Swiatek.

On pitch 14, Grégoire Barrère (209th in the world) is up against the Japanese Taro Daniel (105th in the world).

On track n°7, Carole Monnet (253rd in the world) challenges the Czech Karolina Muchova (81st in the world).

Double finalist at Roland-Garros, Dominic Thiem is already eliminated in the first round, in three sets against Hugo Dellien (6-3, 6-2, 6-4). The Austrian has been back on the ATP circuit for several weeks, after several months out due to a wrist injury.

No problem for Grigor Dimitrov, seed number 18), who eliminated American Marcos Giron in three sets (6-1, 6-1, 6-1).

The French Harmony Tan, 106th in the world, was defeated this Sunday on the 1st day of Roland-Garros by the Colombian Camila Osorio (66th) in two sets by 6-4, 6-3, becoming the first player eliminated from the edition of 2022 of the Mayor on clay.

In four appearances, the 24-year-old Tan only reached the second round once, in 2021. She was the first of the 28 French players involved (15 men, 13 women) to enter the competition.

Roland-Garros cru 2021 can be summed up in one figure: 0. Like the number of French players present in the third round of the Parisian Grand Slam. A first in the history of the Open era.
