ROLAND GARROS – Alexander Zverev is becoming the king of night tennis, as he gets his second consecutive “Le Night Session” assignment (and this is far from the only place this happens).

In this particular case, facing Frances “ShowTime” Tiafoe, it’s an obvious call. It was pretty entertaining.

The rest of the lineup is less of a big seller, compared to this one, with one more high-profile player against a lesser-known one in most cases.

We expectedTomas Etcheverry, who is blossoming by the day, to give No. 15 Borna Coric a tough time out on Court 14. He did more than that; he straight-setted him.
