The draw spoke to Roland-Garros. Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, the two favorites for men, might meet in the semi-finals. In the ladies, the world number 1 and defending champion, Iga Swiatek, and her opponent from last year, Coco Gauff, might offer us a remake in the quarter-finals.
Published on :
Who to take over the vacant throne from Rafael Nadal? Serbian Novak Djokovic, world No. 3, in search of a 23rd Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros, and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, world No. 1, the two favorites, might face each other in the semi-finals , according to the draw made on Thursday, May 25. Among the women, chance placed the world No. 1 and defending champion, the Polish Iga Swiatek, and the Kazakhstani Elena Rybakina, titled at the Rome Masters, in the same table.
The defending champion and 14-time winner, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, withdrew before the start of the tournament, insufficiently recovered from a hip muscle injury he suffered in the second round of the Open. Australia in January.
Tsitsipas on the road to Alcaraz
The big question was whether the tournament’s two main favorites, Alcaraz and Djokovic, might face each other before the final, with the Serb having dropped back to third in the world. The fate therefore decided that yes by placing him in the half of the table of the Spaniard. For Alcaraz, 20, following a first round once morest a player from the qualifications, the road seems clear until the quarter-finals where the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (5th), finalist in 2021 would be waiting for him.
At 36, Djokovic will begin his career once morest the American Aleksandar Kovacevic (114th) by aiming for a quarter probably once morest the Russian Andrey Rublev (7th).
At the bottom of the table, the Ukrainian Andrey Medvedev, who surprised us by winning his first clay title in Rome last week, will start once morest a player from the qualifications and will go to a theoretical quarter once morest the Italian Jannik Sinner (8th).

The other quarter should pit Danish rising star Holger Rune (6th), finalist this year in Monte-Carlo and Rome, once morest Casper Ruud, the Norwegian finalist at Roland-Garros last year. The German Alexander Zverev (27th), who had seriously injured his right ankle last year in the semi-finals once morest Nadal and had ended his season, will make his debut once morest the South African Lloyd Harris (306th).
In addition, the fate was severe with the French Benoît Paire (149th) who, beneficiary of an invitation, will be opposed from entry to the Briton Cameron Norrie (14th).
The two French hopefuls Luca van Assche (79th) and Arthur Fils (112th), finalists of Roland-Garros juniors in 2021, might face each other in the second round of the main draw this year, provided the former beats the Italian Marco Cecchinato (73rd) and that the second gets rid of the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich (34th).
Coco Gauff vs. Iga Swiatek in quarters ?
Among the women, the world No. 1 and defending champion, Poland’s Iga Swiatek, and Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, titled in Rome, are in the same half of the table at Roland-Garros and will not be able to meet before the semi-finals. finals. The other theoretical semi-final would pit Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka (N.2) once morest American Jessica Pegula (N.3).
The French Caroline Garcia (N.5) might find herself on the road to Sabalenka in the quarters. The Lyonnaise will face the Chinese Xiyu Wang in the first round. The American Coco Gauff, beaten in the final last year by Swiatek, is for her part placed on the trajectory of Iga Swiatek on the horizon of the quarter-finals.
The main poster of the first round will see two former winners of major tournaments face off: the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, titled in Melbourne in 2012 and 2013, and the Canadian Bianca Andreescu, crowned at the US Open 2019.

The proportion of unqualified teachers in the public network is even higher than believed and exceeds 30,000 people, according to a report by Auditor General (VG) Guylaine Leclerc.
It is therefore more than a quarter of the 111,151 teachers identified in 2020-2021 who were not qualified, reveals its report.
The majority of them are supply teachers (25,276). This is followed by part-time teachers (2474), teachers by the lesson (2145) and full-time teachers (626).
In recent months, ministry data circulating instead reported some 3,000 unqualified teachers. However, this data only included those who had obtained special permission from the ministry to practice (this is called “commitment tolerance”). Of the number, we must also count the 26,743 others who work “without authorization” and regarding whom the ministry has “no information” as to their training.
To obtain a commitment tolerance, you must have a high school diploma and training “deemed relevant” at CEGEP or university. University students in education who practice before completing their studies are considered qualified.
Moreover, unqualified teachers work much less often than regular teachers. So even if they represent a quarter of the workforce, they account for only 8.3% of the hours worked in the network.
It is not known, however, whether the phenomenon affects more the secondary or primary level or even how English-speaking and French-speaking establishments compare in this respect.
The ministry singled out
The auditor’s team obtained this data following “extremely laborious work” of cross-referencing data, she explained, pointing out how little information the Ministry of Education had on unqualified teachers and their training.
“It’s very concerning,” she said.
Not only does the ministry not have clear data on the needs for qualified teachers and the issues related to the shortage, but it also does not have a “comprehensive and coherent action plan” to deal with them, notes- she.
“Several initiatives have been undertaken to alleviate the shortage,” writes the auditor. “However, these are managed piecemeal, without an overview”. She deplores it all the more since the “warning signs” of the shortage have been manifesting “for several years”.
This issue was notably raised in 2004 by the Superior Council of Education, almost 20 years ago.
However, the shortage is not without consequences, according to the principals of the schools surveyed by the auditor: reduction in the quality of teaching, lack of consistency in the interventions made with students who have special needs, increase in student anxiety, etc.
Representatives of the ministry (MEQ) told the VG that work had begun in 2022 to better document the shortage and that a “teacher needs forecasting model” was set up last winter.
At present, the MEQ must collect information from each of the 72 centers of School Services (CSS) for data. However, “as some do not respond to requests, the portrait is incomplete”.
The auditor, however, refused to throw the stone at the CSS whose staff, she says, is “overwhelmed”. It is above all incumbent on the ministry to act, she underlined.

After severe storms and flooding, the Federal Foreign Office issued a travel warning for Italy on Thursday.
Rome/Berlin – Some politicians in Italy are talking regarding a storm “apocalypse”. The violent storms and rainfall have caused chaos in the southern European country. Now the Foreign Office has also reacted.
Since Thursday, May 18, Annalena Baerbock’s ministry has been expressly warning German vacationers and travelers on its website regarding the consequences of “extreme weather, flooding and the risk of landslides” in Italy. Literally it says: “Due to persistent, sometimes heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms, restrictions are to be expected throughout Italy”.
Severe weather in Italy: the Federal Foreign Office issues travel advice
Particular caution applies in the two regions of Emilia-Romagna and Sicily. The Emilia-Romagna region around the capital Bologna has been hit hardest by the floods so far. Accordingly, the Foreign Office says: “In the interior of the country there is a risk of flooding and landslides”. Along the entire coast in central and southern Italy, warnings are also given of “storm surges”. “Many roads are impassable and there are restrictions on regional rail traffic,” says the ministry.
Over ten thousand residents in the affected areas of the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy have been evacuated and around a hundred serious landslides have been reported. The Formula 1 race planned for Sunday in Imola has been cancelled.
Heavy floods in Italy – chaos following storms
In the region, 23 rivers burst their banks between Tuesday and Wednesday, 36 towns and communities were flooded, and 48 local governments reported landslides. Two more bodies were found in the Ravenna area of central Italy on Thursday, authorities and police said on Thursday. According to media reports, it is said to be a peasant couple in their 70s who were found dead in their flooded apartment. The total number of fatalities from the floods rose to eleven.
Many residents in the Emilia-Romagna region had to climb to higher floors or onto the roof of their houses. According to the region’s vice-president, Irene Priolo, “more than 10,000 people” were evacuated. On Thursday, Ravenna authorities ordered the immediate evacuation of the three villages of Villanova di Ravenna, Filetto and Roncalceci following the Lamone River burst its banks. According to the civil protection authority, 50,000 residents of the disaster region were without electricity on Wednesday. (rjs/dpa)
Transparency note: An earlier version said that the Federal Foreign Office had issued a travel warning. That’s not the case. It is a travel advice intended to draw attention to the special situation on site.
