When does Matteo Gigante play at Roland Garros: history with Ben Shelton

Matteo Gigante, after giving himself the joy of beating the Roland Garros finalist of the 2021 edition (Stefanos Tsitsipas), will face on Friday, May 30, the American Ben Shelton, who made it through the second round thanks to the withdrawal of Frenchman Hugo Gaston.

Gigante and Shelton will be the third match on the Simonne-Mathieu of the day session on Friday, May 30. It starts at 11 a.m. with Mboko-Zheng, then it will be Karen Khachanov’s turn with Tommy Paul before the Roman’s match.

There is no precedent between the Italian and the American: Shelton definitely starts favored but will have to watch out for Gigante, who surprisingly eliminated, as mentioned earlier, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round.

After coming through the qualifiers in the Paris Slam, a full three games, he managed to overcome Hassan and then the former world number 3. He was not coming from a great period Giant, but here in Paris he regained his tennis and his best form after several injuries that forced him not to express himself at his best on the court. Now the challenge to Shelton, who in his only match so far at Roland Garros overcame another Italian, Lorenzo Sonego, in 5 sets.
