TENNIS – The headline act in third round action at the French Open today includes defending champion Coco Gauff while top seed Aryna Sabalenka is also playing in the day session.
The American Gauff will take on 28th seed Austrian Anastasia Potapova, while Sabalenka is up against Daria Kasatkina of Australia.
Court Philippe Chatrier will have a distinctly Stars and Stripes flavour, with Americans scheduled in every match at the main arena.
French teenager Moise Kouame is also seeing action today.
Playing with nothing to lose, Kouame will lean on new-found home support when he faces Chilean Tabilo in his next match and he has clearly embraced his sudden fame and the energy of the Roland Garros crowds.
“It’s not easy, that’s for sure, but I was able to draw into their energy because they were there to support me, not to stress me,” he added.
“But it is definitely more enjoyable to play in front of 10,000 people than 10, that’s a fact. I’ve really had fun on the courts and this is what actually matters to me.”
