WTA Roland Garros / French Open, Paris, France, 2019

Well we've reached that point in the day where it's all men's matches. The only ladies on court right now are Chan and Moore in a mixed doubles match. There's still guys on that court. lol

I don’t know if Serena is up to it — physically, I mean. We know she’s capable of anything with her mental strength assuming her body is OK. I hope she wins, though. I want her to get past Margaret Court, and settle this issue once and for all who the greatest is. I already know Serena is, but some people keep mentioning Court because of slam count. It’s stupid, because so many of Court’s titles were pre-open era, at the AO, during a time when the majority of players didn’t even bother going to Australia.

She will get 24. It's the whole reason she came back after maternity leave. I don't know that she'll get it here, but I'm convinced the next final she reaches she will win. Remember all those milestone slam records took several attempts before she finally broke through (18 & 22).

I would never bet on Halep. She has a knack of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory like no one. So, yes, I would be surprised if she defended, except for the fact that top seeds are falling so quickly, clearing a better path.

The other side still has ES and Mugu. One of them will make the final.

It is unbelievable, the number of matches in which one girl gets bagelled in the first set and then comes back to win the match. Today, Swiatek did that.

Kaia is very good at Roland Garros and remember her giving Janky and pova problems there..

That was some time ago wasn't it? Personally I feel she has had more consistent results on h/c.

She's also done pretty well on the grass too

Yep I forget to add that as well.Kanepi will play Martic next,I feel Martic will win that match.

 

[kskate2]

That will be a tough match. Might go 3 sets. When Kaia serves well the rest of her game looks really good

Martic to date on the clay has had really solid results.

 

[kskate2]

I was watching Martic closely in Charleston. She's really come up in form.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

My radio commentators need to research properly they just said defending champion Osaka lost her match at RG earlier....

Meanwhile, Serena broken early and Sofia holds 4-2

Watching too. I must admit some women's matches are more interesting then men's. I should follow WTA more, give them a chance outside of the slams

 

[kskate2]

Sofia came to play today. This doesn't even look like Serena's B game. She's barely moving to the ball

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena is just error laden at the moment

I’ve barely watched any men’s tennis this FO. Too many WTA matches to choose from

SP for Kenin

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena has to reset for the 2nd set,her timing,everything is off

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well played by Kenin 62 in 38 mins

 

[kskate2]

The kid came good. Can she do it for 2 sets?
