• Day 11 Roland Garros

    3. juni 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    The sun was out but a cold start!
    Yummy P'tit Pain for breakfast near our place then an uber to Roland Garros.
    We headed straight to Court 7 as many Aussies were playing there during the day and we wanted a good position!!
    Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell were first up but were beaten in 2 sets.
    Next was Matt Ebden and Rohan Bopanna. Inspite their age, they played really well, showing skill and class. It was an entertaining match with amazing shots. They won in 3.
    While this was going on Alex deMinaur was playing Daniil Medvedev. I was watching it on the big screen behind our court!! He won in 4 sets, first time in a quarter final for an Aussie since Lleytton Hewitt!! Very exciting.
    Rinky Hijikata and partner followed on our court. They played 2 French guys with the crowd going berserk with every point. Sadly they lost in 3 sets. We had a great day watching the tennis in the sun and wandering the grounds.
    We decided to call it a day about 6pm and head home via somewhere for dinner. A bowl of pasta and cocktail went down very well.
    Now to pack for the Loire.
