Surprise of the negative variety even before the French Open draw in Paris!
As announced by the Roland Garros organizers, Belinda Bencic withdrew from the field of participants in the Grand Slams tournament at the last minute.
According to his management reports to blick.ch, he suffered a slight injury to his right arm and failed to recover in time for the French Open. The eastern Swiss woman had already resigned from the US Open, for security reasons due to the corona pandemic, and preferred to prepare for the arena. In Paris, he had an important goal: “I would like to get past the third round, where I lost last year, this is how I would score points,” Belinda told BLICK in anticipation before her restart. In Rome, however, she was expelled for her first appearance last week.
Stan vs. Murray!
The drawing will also take place in Paris. And on the men’s table, the first round is a real success: Stan Wawrinka, the 2015 French Open champion, faces Andy Murray in the first round. A duel between two Grand Slam winners!
US Open winner Dominic Thiem also has a hard bone early on. The Austrian claims Marin Cilic. In a possible semi-final, Thiem would then face Rafael Nadal. Both are in the lower box. Djokovic is in the other half at the top of the seeded list.
Swiss women in bad luck
For women, Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann threatens Simona Halep (WTA 2) in the second round. At the beginning, Bielerin have to play against Irina-Camelia Begu (WTA 72) from Romania. Following the cancellation of Bencic, Stefanie Vögele, the only Swiss woman left in Paris besides Teichmann, will face Maria Patricia Tig (WTA 58).
Happy tickets for the Swiss representatives at Roland Garros!
