Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Women] - Grand Slam

I thought Saba was a tough cookie.Players like Venus were very good with the media,and they would never rattle her.She would give them one liners they would never forget.

Elena withdraws citing a possible virus illness, SST into R4

 

[kskate2]

I don't want to belittle whatever Elena is feeling, but I remember the last RG U.S. women's champ had a cold or something she was dealing with for several days in the 2nd week. She was seen constantly blowing her nose, but she ultimately got on with it. and won the thing. I see Djoke on the men's side "by any means necessary"

That has to be the biggest shocker of the tournament. Rybakina was playing so well and looked the one to beat.

Eurosport is really loving on Andreeva..

 

[tossip]

This umpire is really assisting Andreeva..his calls are timely and they seem to disturb Coco.

And w/ good reason. Instead of Coco putting her away, she lets the girl hang around and win the set

Well that turned around giving the kid an "unsportsman-like" warning on set point! Luckily she overcame it and closed Gauff out in the TB!

I don't know about that, it felt more like Mirra was dominating the set. Coco was lucky to even get this to a tiebreaker.

You can disagree all you want, but facts speak for themselves. Coco served for the set and had 30-0

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Better energy level by Coco in that second set, which she wins 6-1.

Gauff is taking the high bh out of the air now, she has to keep playing aggressive

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What I disagree, Swistek is still the one to beat. I suggest you watch her matchs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good defense from Gauff on that point

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Andrreva at times is still playing a junior level tennis with these high ball returns

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Andreeva needs to settle down and just try to compete now, she is getting frustrated, she needs to send a message I am a fighter to the end

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Andreeva stop playing there she thought the ball was going out? bad mistake
Gauff breaks again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Swiatek 1st set 6-0 over Wang

 

[kskate2]

Mira's still green. Coco rightfully took advantage. Hopefully she'll learn from it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The improvement in Gauffs game from her her match is she is being more aggressive, not being as tentative as she was playing
