PARÍS — El Abierto de Francia pasó de un maratón a un par de sprints. A paso redoblado, la campeona defensora Iga Swiatek empleó apenas 40 minutos para instalarse en los cuartos de final de Roland Garros al estampar el domingo una victoria 6-0, 6-0 sobre Anastasia Potapova. Y Coco Gauff, la reinante campeona del US Open, tramitó en 60 minutos su triunfo 6-1, 6-2 sobre Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
Apenas habían transcurrido ocho horas desde que el número uno mundial Novak Djokovic había completado su maratón de cinco sets y 4 horas y medio con Lorenzo Musetti, poco después de las 3 de la madrugada, en el partido que más tarde ha acabado en la historia del torneo de Grand Slam que se juega en superficie de arcilla. Swiatek opinó que los duelos que finalizan tan tarde no terminan ahí, y perjudican la salud de los tenistas.
