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

[MargaretMcAleer]

A poor service game from Iga and she is broken, see she is human?
Trianer out for Tsuranko? trying to get her heart rate down, doctor is there as well
I hope she will be okay
Tsurnako back on court now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sad to say Tsurneko has to retire in this match had big breathing issues
Sad she was playing her best at this tournament this year
Iga won by retirement 5-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW This was Tsurenko's 5th retirement this year or walkover in 11 tournament's this year? Hey?

 

[kskate2]

isn't that another retirement from Tsurenko? what is her deal? something is going on there.

Not sure she had breathing problems Kskate had the trainer and doctor out trying to get her heart rate down? came back to play and then retired

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apparently Tsurenko had started to feel ill yesterday, was like a virus, similar to what Rybakina had, then had to withdraw from the tournament

Both ladies have taken a toilet break after the 1st set... Muchova wins the 1st set 75
Muchova breaks Pavs in her opening service game
Love Muchova tennis IQ she has the ability to direct her shots where she wants on the tennis court and also anticipates her opponents shots on the court

Muchova 3-1 2nd set

Muchova serving for the match 5-2 and a place in the SF, which would be her first RG SF

MP for Muchova
Muchova d Pavlyuchenkova 75 62 to reach her first SF at RG and will play either Sabalenka or Svitilona in the SF
Love watching Muchova with her all court game
Bad luck Pavs, thought your legs looked heavy, not moving well, at the end of the 1st set, though you will rise 200 points when the new rankings come out

If anyone's French Open final run was a fluke, it's Pavlyuchenkova's run to the finals in 2021, not Coco Gauff's last year. Coco is tied for most wins at the French Open since 2021, and the only one to make the quarterfinals in all 3 French Opens. Coco would have beat Pavlyuchenkova in the 2021 French Open.

Your bias for Coco is really laughable lol! I suppose Iga Swiatek's win over Coco last year at RG was also a Fluke

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice comments from Karolina Muchova, as I have always said she is a Top 10 player and it is only injuries that has kept her out of the tour from some long periods of time
Well deserve SF win and it was No Fluke at all

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2nd ladies QF has just begun Sabalenka vs Svitolina, Elina has won their only previous meeting on clay in Strasburg
Nice stat for Elina her world ranking 1034, 2 weeks later ranking of 508, won in Strasburg, she will be in the Top 75 when the new rankings come out, though she might go further depending if she can win against Saba today
There will be no handshake between these 2 today. at the completion of this match
