Dddd not a single Roland Garros post in two days. The flop slam!

Has anything noteworthy really happened though? If 'Petra dives out of a slam early to a player well below her pay grade' counted as a shock, we'd all need pacemakers by now. Same with Bencic and Sakkari, and the only big exit on the men's side so far is Felix who has a less than stellar record here.

Good to see Sloane has something left in the tank, though.

Surprised to see Bianca playing, I thought she'd be out for longer after her injury in Miami. Her match with Azarenka today should be fun to watch

Medvedev out in round 1. Sinner now has a much better chance of going deep.

 

[Artemisia]

Krejcikova is out too ddd.

Krejcikova is out too ddd.

From a surprise title win to...two first round exits in a row. Following the Ostapenko template.

The way Krejcikova has bombed ever since she said she should be included with Iga, Aryna, and Elena and it’s a WTA Big 4… girl.

Maybe she's confusing her doubles results with her singles? Cause otherwise...

Well obviously not Petra! It was just funny that there were little updates during Madrid and Rome and then there wasn’t even a post about the draw here, and I’m including myself! I honestly still haven’t taken a close look at how things could pan out.

As fun as it was to watch him knock out Medvedev, hearing about his domestic violence allegations is just another sad chapter added to the ATP narrative.

Gael Monfils. What a match.

Naomi Osaka’s having a girl!

Sloane and Elina winning today… nature is healing.

Rybakina has withdrawn due to illness. Bad for the tournament, but great news for everyone else - she was looking pretty tough to beat.

Sloane..........................

 

[Artemisia]

dont even bother coming back from 0-5 if you're gonna play like that up 5-4 in the tiebreak. just lose the set and keep it moving

Svitolina vs. Sabalenka will be interesting…

I’m at the Roland Garros today and I’ve taken my Mum as a surprise birthday present. She’s always wanted to go to a Grand Slam. She’s on centre court so I hope she gets to see some good matches.

I’m currently watching Sorribes Tormo and Haddad Maia and it’s been surprisingly great. Watching live makes such a difference. Also I get to see Iga again later which is pretty exciting.
