The match will begin at 9 p.m. at Stade Philippe Chatrier, according to broadcaster Prime Video, a good time to bring all spectators with a ticket for the night session.

Zverev-Alcaraz may go on, so it’s not certain the match could start at 8:45pm, as planned in principle.

This is undoubtedly the most tempting match of the two weeks, and the one everyone has been waiting for since the draw: the powdery Roland Garros quarter-final between Rafael Nadal, 13 titles on the clock and a statue against Roland-Garros and Novak Djokovic, both disqualified from a Grand Slam. In Australia, they are back in force.

As a reminder, this match takes place in a night session and is therefore visible in the Prime video. But the American broadcaster opened the game to everyone, and not just to its subscribers. Here we explain how to watch the match on your TV (it works on your tablet, computer or phone, of course).
