View Schedule: Del Potro, Zverev And Fognini Kick Off Day 3 At Roland Garros

Khachanov also headlines Tuesday play

Juan Martin del Potro, Alexander Zverev and Fabio Fognini all start play at 11:00am on a busy Day 3 of Roland Garros. Tenth seed Karen Khachanov of Russia is also in action on Tuesday’s schedule.

Eighth seed Del Potro faces a challenging opening test against Chilean Nicolas Jarry. The Argentine has been limited to three tournaments this season due to a right knee injury, but reached the quarter-finals at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia and held two match points against Novak Djokovic before falling in three sets. Del Potro has a 19-8 record at Roland Garros and is a two-time semi-finalist (2009 and 2018). Jarry held two championship points last week at the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open before losing to Zverev in a third-set tie-break.

Fifth seed Zverev starts his fortnight against Aussie John Millman. Although the 2018 Nitto ATP Finals champion has had mixed results this year, he clinched his first title of the season in Geneva and reached the final in Acapulco (l. to Kyrgios). Millman is seeking his first-ever win in Paris (0-3).

Ninth seed Fognini aims for a big run as he opens against fellow Italian Andreas Seppi. They are even in their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry at 4-4, but Fognini has won their past four matches. The 32-year-old won his first ATP Masters 1000 title last month at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters (d. Lajovic) and could crack the Top 10 for the first time with a big result this fortnight.

Khachanov kicks off his Paris campaign against German Cedrik-Marcel Stebe. Although the tenth seed arrives in Paris with a 10-12 record this season, he reached the quarter-finals this March at the BNP Paribas Open. Stebe returned to action last month after sitting out 15 months due to several injuries.

Other notable matches on Tuesday include No. 14 seed Gael Monfils looking to delight the home crowd against Japanese Taro Daniel. Another Frenchman, No. 22 seed Lucas Pouille, will square off with Italian qualifier Simone Bolelli.
