The top social haps of Day 6 in Paris. They’ll be coming fast and furious and we’ll try to keep up.
And away we go…
1. Roger says RELAX.
2. Brilliant reaction from Juan Ignacio Londero—he’s into the second week at Roland Garros on his first main draw appearance at a major.
3. Score a laugh—and a win for Benoit Paire and Leander Paes. They are into the second round.
4. Nothing like having someone there to console you when you’re down. Nicolas Mahut falls in four sets to Leonardo Mayer and his son Nathanaël comes to his emotional rescue.
5. Never a bad day for a King of Clay slo-mo GIF. Nadal drops a set but moves through in four past David Goffin.
6. Donna Vekic entered Roland Garros with a 3-6 lifetime record in Paris. Make that 6-6 now and she’s into the second week for the first time ever.
7. And Vekic will face Johanna Konta in the round of 16. Konta’s story is even more remarkable than Vekic’s. The Brit was 0-4 lifetime at Roland Garros but is into the round of 16. The ranking of her opponents? 147 Antonia Lottner, 111 Lauren Davis and 47 Viktoria Kuzmova (average ranking 102).
8.The peRFect follow-through of Roger Federer during his third-round win over Casper Ruud on Friday in Paris.
9. Juan Martin del Potro and Simona Halep share a #DELPOHUG on Day 5.
10. It’s Roland Garros time in Paris—and that’s something we can get behind!
