The weather has been dreary for much of this year’s French Open but the tennis and storylines have been captivating. The top three seeds in this half of the draw are all into the last 16. They are the only seeds remaining though as three players advanced to the last 16 of a Slam for…

The second round of the 2020 French Open is complete. Day 5 featured the biggest upset of the tournament so far by seeding. It wasn’t a big surprise though and it felt like a calmer day compared to the previous two. The two clear favourites in each half of the draw, Simona Halep and Garbiñe…

I’m not sure eventful cuts it in trying to describe day 4 of the 2020 French Open. It all started with the sad news that Serena Williams was forced to pull out of this year’s French Open with an achilles injury. Within an hour or so, the four seeds in Serena’s eighth were all out…

It was an on-off-on day of rain showers in Paris. It’s not the French Open as we know it and even more so with tennis under the lights in Paris which is still a rather jarring concept. As I write this, the first round is still ongoing but i’m wrapping up for today as it’s…

Read on for my detailed dissection of the women’s…

Roland Garros is in the books for another year for the women after Saturday’s singles final. I successfully managed to make it through the entire day avoiding the result of the final and sat down this evening to watch the match. This post reviews the 2019 French Open final between Ash Barty and Marketa Vondrousova.…

The 2019 French Open final is all set for Saturday! Friday’s semi-finals were a dramatic pair of matches that featured plenty of twists of turns. Following on live scores was a hoot this morning 🤣. I won’t be able to watch the final live on Saturday so i’ll be turning off all social media notifications…

After a Wednesday wash-out, the quarter-finals from the bottom half of the draw were played early on Thursday. The results have produced an eclectic final four and the guarantee of a new Slam champ! The semi-finals are set for Friday and while I understand the scheduling, i’m still very disappointed that the women’s semi-finals will…
