This Wednesday's programme on centre court promises to be exciting! Benjamin Bonzi will have a tricky match to negotiate against Maxime Cressy's powerful serve and will do everything he can to succeed in front of his Marseilles fans. The American giant, a recent finalist in Montpellier, will confirm his good start to the year.
Soon after, one of the great hopes of French tennis will enter the competition. Arthur Fils will have the opportunity to prove to the public why he is a special player. Roman Safiullin, his opponent of the day, will try to take his revenge after his defeat in Lille last year.
At the end of the day, the remake of the first round of the Open Sud de France will take place. Grégoire Barrère will want to repeat his performance against Alexander Bublik who has not won two in a row since last October.
But the clash of the day is the match between two of the best one-handed backhands on the circuit: Richard Gasquet and Stan Wawrinka. The match will be decided on the basis of experience, given the immense careers of the two players. The Frenchman has a slight advantage in the match, leading 3-2, but his match last night will leave its mark after battling for more than three hours. Stan Wawrinka, who is looking for his best level, will come with the firm intention of winning as he feels so good here in Marseille!
