Welcome to Roland-Garros 2026 – Day Three
Salut tout le monde et bienvenue à Roland-Garros 2026 – troisième jour!
And, of course, what a troisième jour this promises to be. Standing out among stand-outs, we’ve Linda Noskova, seeded 12, facing Maria Sakkari; Cameron Norrie meets Daniel Vallejo; and Naomi Osaka takes on Laura Siegemund.
But the match of the day might just come first up on Chatrier, where Aryna Sabalenka, yet to win this pot, meets the excellent Jessica Bouzas Maneiro; don’t be surprised if that matures into an epic (but also, don’t be surprised, as if anyone could, should the world no 1 blaze into round two).
Otherwise, defending champ Coco Gauff tussles her good mate and doubles specialist Taylor Townsend; Alexandre Muller goes at Stefanos Tsitsipas; and Daniil Medvedev, not long since double-bagelled by Mario Berrettini, begins his campaign against Adam Walton. Then if, to that, we add Jacob Fearnley v Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Ana Kalinskaya v Loïs Boisson and Felix Auger-Aliassime v Daniel Altmaier, along with Marin Cilic, Madison Keys, Jess Pegula, Sascha Bublik and Learner Tien, we have a frankly ridiculous day of stuff that isn’t whatever we’re meant to be doing.
