Many were surprised to see the match schedule for this Wednesday at Roland Garros 2026, with Novak Djokovic placed in the third slot of the daytime session, as the high temperatures reached their peak. However, it seems, according to Mahut's statement, that it was the Serbian who requested that time slot as he had trouble falling asleep after his match against Perricard in the night session.
