Roland Garros 2020 Friday Schedule of Play - Nadal, Thiem and Halep all in action

The Friday schedule of the Roland Garros 2020 brings us a lot of great tennis with Nadal, Thiem, Halep and many more stepping onto the court.

The Roland Garros 2020 will continue on Friday if the weather permits and we will have a lot of great tennis to see. The ATP part of the schedule will kick off at 11 in the morning with a stunning match between Dominic Thiem and Casper Ruud. While Dominic Thiem is not a youngster anymore he is still on the younger side and seeing two younger players clashing on their favoured clay surface is a bit of rarity nowadays. Not many players fancy the clay anymore and this should be a treat for all fans that do.

Stan Wawrinka and Alexandar Zverev will also be in action as Wawrinka is set to play Gaston from France while Zverev will face off against Cecchinato. The Italian is a clay-court specialist who is in good form so the draw isn't getting easier for Zverev who had issues in the previous round as well. Rafael Nadal will close out the program with a match against Travaglia.

The WTA side of the event will be opened at 11 in the morning as well with a couple of interesting matches such as Bouchard - Swiatek and Svitolina - Alexandrova. One fascinating matchup later in the day is the one between Simona Halep and Amanda Anisimova. Halep has been in spectacular form and Anisimova is no stranger to great results in Paris as she played the semifinal last year. Should be a fascinating watch.

The later part of the day will be filled with some more interesting matches. Tsvetana Pironkova will finally play a match again and this time she will face Krejcikova. The final two matches of teh day will be between Siniakova and Bertens which should be interesting and Sakkari and Trevisan.
