The story of the day
Halfway through the round of sixteen, the 2015 French Open again likely to be historic for the Blues. Five French were competing in the men’s draw, two and a half games were played and the mid-term review is far from being negative with qualified for the quarter-finals, Tsonga, an eliminated, Simon, and another waivers, Monfils. With Chardy and Gasquet vying Monday, the French tennis still has the opportunity to see two of his players reach the quarters, which has seen for 25 years with Henri Leconte and Thierry Champion in 1990.
With Tsonga and Monfils fashion resilience in extraterrestrial mode, the Blues still look great. And it was still far from being written in advance in view of their benefits before the French Open. Especially for Manceau, unceremoniously eliminated by Djokovic last year at the same stage of the competition. Its release water coil in December Davis Cup seems far away. This time, no whistles of the public who literally carried while he was on the ropes between the 3rd and 4th sets to Tomas Berbych. No doubt it will again push for face Kei Nishikori on Tuesday.

On loved
The end of the second set between Cornet and Svitolina. One of the highlights of the fortnight probably, as the level of play between the two players was high. Yes, you read right. Women’s tennis is sufficiently decried throughout the year. Do not praise him when highs, it would still be unfair. It lacked a good outcome for Cornet, the French have managed to save five match points before surrender. We would have really liked to follow a third set.
La ola umbrellas on center court. Rather pretty to see. Despite the rain, the public was not allowed to cool. While Tsonga was leading in his first set against Berdych and that the game was under threat of a disruption, the public has expressed its full support to this original ballet by Tricolore. Initially not very hot to sit on the court, Tsonga did well to let themselves go.
We did not like
The first set of missed Alize Cornet face Elina Svitolina. The dark side of this game. As the 1st and 3rd rounds, Niçoise entered the match late in the first set, after a double break cashed input. An ignition delay which cost him dear in the eighth-final against the Ukrainian who did not let down by the return of the French fanfare and a public all to his cause. Too heavy or too this land wind completely taped her legs, which is sure to give many regrets Niçoise. Because given the level of the game played in the second round, the match could have had a different outcome.

Just to know
Monfils will he get to sleep well tonight? Finally he will especially get to get up tomorrow morning to finish his match?
Wawrinka was banged by the French public to his arrival on the Lenglen. It would have no incentive to earn more quickly deal with Simon?
Enter Gilles Simon – Eurosport
Between Federer and Monfils, there he was really an ideal opponent for Wawrinka in the quarter?
Tsonga did not see it back in the semifinals of Roland Garros?
Cornet she will regret long ball missed its set in the second round?
Three stats to remember
2. Kei Nishikori is the second Japanese to rally the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, but the first in the Open era. The first story was Jiro Satoh, semifinalist in 1931 and 33.
3. The number of games postponed because of rain. A lesser evil after the weather forecast of the day. Unlike Monfils-Federer who could start on center court, two games did not start:-Sharapova Pennetta Safarova and-Muguruza.
11. Tsonga qualified for the eleventh quarter final Grand Slam. It is the first French to reach that mark in major tournaments, Noah having stopped at 10, 9 Leconte and Pioline 8.
