As in 2022, Diane Parry will replay a third round at Roland-Garros. Largely superior to her opponent this Thursday – victory in two sets against Ann Li (6-3, 6-4) – the Frenchwoman will face world number 6, Amanda Anisimova, in the next round. A client for Parry, who will face her for the first time in her career.
Except that the scheduling of his match could pose a problem. While Paris Saint-Germain plays the Champions League final this Saturday against Arsenal (6:00 p.m.), Parry could play at the same time. Unless his request to Amélie Mauresmo is heard.
Parry wants to see PSG
After her meeting against Li, the Frenchwoman appeared at a press conference with the PSG jersey on her back. We will have understood, the C1 final on Saturday is part of his plans. Except that she will have a third round to compete on the same day. If she confided that “it wouldn’t be great (to play at the same time)”, she still hopes to be able to play her match before supporting PSG in front of the TV. “I live in Paris, I have three older brothers, I was immersed in PSG and I am completely with them. It’s a very big meeting, I hope to play earlier and be 100% in front of the match afterwards. I hope that AmĂ©lie (Mauresmo, the tournament director) will not be too late,” she explained to journalists. This scene obviously recalls the case of last year where the French players, including Arthur Fils and GaĂ«l Monfils, wanted not to play their match at the same time as the PSG – Inter Milan final.
The ball is therefore in Amélie Mauresmo’s court. This Saturday, Diane Parry is not the only one to compete in a third round, since the sensation Moïse Kouame will also have to play his match against the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo. We will know more about the program for Saturday this Friday.
