Day 3 at Roland-Garros 2026: Star Players Hit the Clay
On Day 3 of the 2026 French Open, the tournament welcomes its top players, including world No. 1s Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, as they kick off their matches on the iconic clay courts of Paris. With the first round still ongoing, these leading seeds are eager to take charge and avoid any surprising upsets that often happen early in the tournament.
On Court Philippe-Chatrier, Aryna Sabalenka begins her journey against Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, hoping to regain her form after a slow start this season. Following her is a showdown between Alexandre Muller and Stefanos Tsitsipas, along with an exciting all-American match featuring Coco Gauff against Taylor Townsend. Sabalenka is aiming for her first French Open title after finishing as the runner-up last year.
Later in the evening, Jannik Sinner will face French wildcard Clement Tabur. The Italian star comes into this match riding an impressive 29-match winning streak and is considered a strong candidate for the title, especially with Carlos Alcaraz missing from the tournament.
Court Suzanne-Lenglen also offers an exciting lineup, including Daniil Medvedev taking on Adam Walton and Naomi Osaka facing Laura Siegemund. Flix Auger-Aliassime will compete against Daniel Altmaier, and Anna Kalinskaya will meet local favorite Lois Boisson.
On Court Simonne-Mathieu, Jessica Pegula will play against Kimberly Birrell, Madison Keys will square off with Helene Vandewinkel, and Corentin Moutet will challenge Vit Kopriva. Marin Cilic is set to begin his tournament against Moise Kouame.
