Tell us your secret: Do you get an alert on your phone as soon as there's a break? Is there an army of "breakers" hiding behind your nickname? Well done, in any case, we can always count on you in case of a "break."

On the offensive, the Olympic champion varied her shots to take the lead 2-1.

And who says serve... says roar - the screams made by the players on the courts! (which reaches 90 dB for Sabalenka, the equivalent of a circular saw). Can you find out which players are hiding behind these grunts?

A little news this morning: we managed to make our way to Court Philippe-Chatrier without having to fight our way through the crowd. Because there aren't really any crowds anymore. Tuesday of the second week of Roland-Garros means the start of the quarter-finals (what do you mean, no one says that?). All the singles matches now take place on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The doubles and junior matches on the other courts are less popular, and so the aisles are emptying (a little).

The drop shot that stays in the net... 40-30. Zheng still has one more point to win his service game.

Zheng rolls out another excellent serve. Sabalenka returns short and is immediately punished on the other side of the court.

First good serve from Zheng who forces Sabalenka to return into the cloudless sky of Paris.

Sabalenka's game! 1-0. As usual, the Belarusian served well to put her opponent at a distance, before finishing powerfully as she entered the court.

Sabalenka scores another ace! 40-30.
