Arthur son has his eyes riveted on Roland-Garros and Munich. A fervent supporter of Paris Saint-Germain, the Frenchman hopes to live a double emotion next Saturday: continue his career at Roland-Garros and attend the final of the Champions League. The young tricolor especially wishes to avoid being programmed in night session that day, so as not to miss the shock between his heart club and Inter Milan.
The Parisian tournament opens this Sunday and promises, as every year, its share of surprises, emotions and spectacular performances. One of the highlights of the launch will be the tribute paid to Rafael Nadal on the court Philippe-Chatrier, in recognition of his 14 historic coronations at the Porte d'Auteuil. But the looks will also be turned towards the new generation, with Carlos Alcaraz headlining and, on the French side, Arthur son, 14th in the world and carrier of tricolor hopes.
A possible eighth final against Jannik Sinner could wait for the young Frenchman. “When you have hope compared to someone, it means that the person can achieve great things”said son Friday in the columns of the team, still measuring expectations.
“I hope there will be a good atmosphere. We will then see as the tournament progresses. »» With his good start to the season, the 20 -year -old tennis player hopes to cross the first laps and invite himself to the party in the second week.
“I plan to go to the match …”
But next Saturday, tennis could briefly pass to the background for him. If Arthur son spends the first two laps, he could play his 3rd match on May 31. A date that coincides with the Champions League final in Munich. “I plan to go to the match”he launched smiling, before nuance: “No, it is sure that it is a very, very big finish. I'm going to look at her in my room. I don't want to lose energy with that, I don't hope, but I will be fully. »»
Hoping to escape night programming, he slipped with humor: “I will chat with Amélie (Mauresmo)”in reference to the director of the tournament. Same dilemma for Gaël Monfils, another PSG enthusiast:
“We must not forget that I have my wife who plays. I have several problems, it's not just me ”smiled the veteran. One thing is certain: in Roland-Garros, the passion for football does not stop at the lines of the court.
