Delpo 1, Reporter 0

Do not test Juan Martin del Potro’s knowledge of Roland Garros history. The Argentine, always prepared on the court, has been doing his homework off the court as well, as he showed on Thursday during his press conference.

Q. This is not a question about the match, but I wondered, do you know who Roland Garros was?
Del Potro: Yes.

Q. Can you tell us?
Del Potro: He was an aviator. A-ha. You’re surprised?

Q. You’re the first person in here that’s got that.
Del Potro: Because they asked me a few days ago and I Google it.

Del Potro was also sharp on the court on Thursday, winning his second-round match against Frenchman Julien Benneteau, who was playing his final match in Paris. The Argentine will next meet Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who beat #NextGenATP Norwegian Casper Ruud. Read Report
