This French Open has been one hell of a ride. The two pre-tournament favourites, Simona Halep and Garbiñe Muguruza, are both out of the tournament and three of the four quarter-finalists from the top half will play their first ever Slam quarter-final on Tuesday. All four women’s singles matches from Sunday’s schedule are covered in…

The first week of the 2020 French Open is in the books! It was a shame how the schedule panned out on Saturday with four women’s matches all going on at the same time, yet nothing for the first two hours of the day. There were more surprises as another trio of players advanced to…
