Wemby fever in Paris extends to Roland Garros locker room: Tiafoe, Shelton want to see Spurs in NBA Finals
PARIS: Between Roland Garros, the Champions League final, and Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference finals all happening today, the term ‘Super Saturday’ doesn’t suffice when describing the vibes here in Paris.
At the tennis, French teen sensation Moise Kouame has made Court Suzanne Lenglen his home after his five-set epic in round two, and he’s once again scheduled on the tournament’s second-biggest stadium in an attempt to reach round four.
Meanwhile on Court Philippe Chatrier, Kouame’s compatriot Diane Parry survived a third-set tiebreak to shock sixth-seeded Amanda Anisimova and advance to the round of 16.
Roland Garros stadium is a stone’s throw away from the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain’s homebase, and I lost count of how many people I spotted donning PSG jerseys on my way to the tennis this morning.
