The wait is almost over! This Thursday, around 7 p.m., in the prestigious buildings of the Orangerie, located in the gardens of the Serres d’Auteuil, the draw for the main draws of the Roland-Garros tournament (from May 22 to June 5) will be carried out. A moment awaited by all fans of the little yellow ball.

The latter will be particularly attentive to the fate reserved for Rafael Nadal. The idol of the crowds. Back in his garden, where he has already won 13 times, the Majorcan hit his first balls on Wednesday. He no longer seems to be suffering from his left foot (Muller-Weiss syndrome), which forced him to forfeit in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Rome last week. Nevertheless, he had never arrived at Roland-Garros with so few benchmarks and matches in his paws. A serious handicap while his path to a new title promises to be particularly complex.

A warm welcome
