Simona Halep is a Slam champion! Rallying from a set and a break down, Halep beat Sloane Stephens, 3-6 6-4 6-1 in Saturday’s French Open final. I was out during the day and have just managed to catch up with the final having successfully (wow!) avoided the scoreline. Overwhelming thoughts right now – I…
The 2018 French Open final will be contested between the number one seed, Simona Halep and the number 10 seed, Sloane Stephens. I caught up with the Eurosport highlights on Thursday night after playing tennis (I didn’t injure myself or anyone else this time so wahey!) and now feel informed enough to write about the…
I was out on Tuesday playing tennis and have just finished catching up with Wednesday’s action in time to write this Set Points post. All four quarter-finals are covered with a focus on Wednesday’s blockbuster quarter-finals. We’re approaching the end of the tournament (didn’t it just start?!) with the semi-finals set for Thursday. Read on…
The quarter-finalists at the 2018 French Open are all set after Monday’s blockbuster schedule turned into a damp squib with two retirements.

Friday’s order of play was cut short again by the rain resulting in a backlog of matches set for Saturday. In the matches that were played out there was the biggest shock of the tournament so far. I’ll be travelling on Saturday so not sure if i’ll have time for a post. I’m hoping to…
The women’s draw at the 2018 French Open is shaping up rather beautifully with a series of blockbuster third round matches set up for Friday and Saturday. This post meanders through the matches that I got to watch, as well as the most gruelling match with my bro so far. Tomorrow is our last day…
Simona Halep’s three set win over Alison Riske wrapped up first round action at the 2018 French Open on Wednesday. The bottom half of the draw was also completed for the second round with the final match of the day just finishing in time before the darkness. I didn’t get to watch as much tennis…
The first round of the 2018 French Open is almost complete with just one match outstanding – the world number one, Simona Halep and Alison Riske were scheduled for Philippe Chatrier but never got on court and will play first thing on Wednesday. It was an eventful day with my three top matches from the…
First round matches continued at the 2018 French Open on Monday with rain halting proceedings at the end. This has paved the way for a smashing schedule on Tuesday. This Set Points guides you through the snippets of matches that I got to watch. Please chip in with your thoughts about matches that I missed!…
