Roland Garros has banned alcohol in the stands after a series of incidents that led to complaints from David Goffin ( he was spat on by a fan) and Iga Swiatek.
Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo says the most experienced chair umpires will be assigned to the most potentially volatile matches and that umpires have been instructed on bad behavior and that fans will be ejected from the stadium.
"We will be intransigent about respecting the players game" she said.

this is a smart move by Momo. Too bad other tourneys don't get that memo

Vika sent packing to the grass early by the teen queen at 1am

You were right MM, Banshee should have taken a rest last week. She was gassed. That must be disappointing because she should be playing in the 2nd week of RG.

I heard one of those goofy male TC commies call Clara French.

Gracheva
Begu
Andreeva
Stearns
One of these players will make the QFs

Stearns

Most likely going to be Andreeva, although the Stearns match isn't a gimme. Andreeva has the makings to be the next great women's tennis star.

Elisabetta Cocciareto (sp?) is adorable. Her joy is infectious. The Italian is through to the quarters. Hopefully Arnaldi will have similar good fortune in the guys’ draw.

 

[Hoergren]

Again by accident you watch a brilliant match - Vekic vs Danilovic -thought it was soon over when Vekic won first set 6-0 -BUT no -what a fight

Most likely going to be Andreeva, although the Stearns match isn't a gimme. Andreeva has the makings to be the next great women's tennis star.

Mirra at such a young age is talented and really believes in herself,which shows in her tennis

Well done to Cocciaretto d Samsonova (17) 76(4) 62 and making the R16 for the first time in a major
