<p>Like three tricolor arrows in the sky of Paris. Friday at Roland Garros is tinged with blue with the triple victory in the third round of Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Matteo Arnaldi, and Jannik Sinner, all qualified for the round of 16. If the world number 2 has done his job, beating Russian Pavel Kotov, it is almost a feat accomplished by the other two tennis players on the red clay of the Parisian tournament. Cocciaretto won in two sets against Russian Liudmila Samsonova, WTA number 17, with a score of 7-6, 6-2, in one hour and 39 minutes of play, while shortly after Arnaldi eliminated the world number 6, Andrey Rublev, in just three sets with a resounding 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 that infuriated the Russian with himself.</p><p>"Paris is magic," was the immediate comment from the twenty-three-year-old tennis player from Fermo (WTA number 51), who could not contain her joy at qualifying for the round of 16, her first time in a Grand Slam. "It's incredible. I told myself: forget about the mind, play with your heart." And so it was against Samsonova, a Russian who has represented Italy in the past. In the fourth round, Cocciaretto will face the American Coco Gauff, world number 3 and finalist two years ago along the banks of the Seine.</p></div>

<p>In quick succession, in the capital of France twinned with Rome, Arnaldi's victory followed: in the Suzanne Lenglen stadium covered by the automatic roof for the rain that returned to beat relentlessly on the courts of Porte d'Auteuil, the Italian tennis player won the first set in a tiebreak, then conquered the next two more easily, reaching the round of 16. Another feat awaiting his next opponent, Stefanos Tsitsipas, who in three sets dispatched Chinese Zhizhen Zhang. "The first set was very important, given that I was not the favorite, it gave me a lot of confidence to continue pushing," explained the Italian.</p><p>To close today's Italian triplet against Russia, the "red baron," Sinner, advanced effortlessly to the round of 16. In the Philippe Chartrier central court, under the eyes of the tennis player and his now official partner, Anna Kalinskaya, the South Tyrolean defeated Kotov in three sets, number 56 in the ATP ranking. The same opponent against whom just over a month ago, in Madrid, he felt the acute pain in his right hip that soon led to his withdrawal from the Masters 1000 and his decision to miss the Internazionali to be ready for Paris. "Thank you for the support, it is extraordinary," exclaimed Sinner in his first comments addressed to the Parisian crowd, who applauded and cheered him throughout the match shouting: "Allez Sinner! Allez Sinner! Go Sinner! Go Sinner!" Immediately after, the boy raised in the shadow of the Tre Cime said that today "it was a different match compared to Madrid, for many reasons. I focused on my tennis, it is extraordinary to play on Chatrier, and I had fun." The problem that kept him out since late April, for 27 days, seems to be overcome, and among the experts in Paris, some even believe that today he "played on autopilot."</p></div>

<p>To support the South Tyrolean, who could become world number 1 on June 10th, there are also the ever-present "Carota Boys," the six die-hard Piedmontese fans who have been following their favorite player in all Grand Slam tournaments for a year now, including Paris, while waiting for the match tomorrow between Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti, scheduled for 8:15 pm in the Chartrier arena.</p>
