Good, one of the dumbest decisions in sports for as long as I can remember. Would be nice if players bowed out but that’s never going to happen when major money is on the table.
Noskova takes the first against Emma, and she's one to remember. Just blistering the ball on both groundstrokes.
From reading her post match interview it sounded like Naomi may be rushing back if she's still worrying about her Achilles.
No surprise, Rune just rolls Shapo. Holger is going to so so good. If this is the last one for Tsonga, he's making it count. Giving Ruud all he wants.
Wonderful ceremony for Jo Willy. Benoit, Simon, Gael, Gasquet all there in person. Big 4 all filmed video messages. FFT brought all of his coaches from his career in court, as well as his family.
Ramos serving for the match and getting a match point just to get broken, he is for sure going to lose the match now
More chaos in the women's, I see. With Sakkari losing, there's no Top 10 players in that half now, right? Golden opportunity for someone new to make the final. Yes, that means you, AA.
Another ladies seed out as Pliskova loses to French wildcard Leolia JeanJean, who is ranked #227 but has had a lot of ITF/challenger success this season.
Any chance she runs out of puff during the tournament? I know she's red hot right now, but she's played a LOT of tennis lately.
Always possible. The good thing is she’s been beating people so badly that she’s barely been on the court 2 hours in Paris so far.
Anisimova lost a tough TB against Muchova. Up 5-1, then again late, Novak’d what would have been the winner, then choked the next two. Going to be amazing if she wins this.
Leylah! Nice win over Bencic. Now gets Anisimova who I think she'll have major trouble with. Heck I might be putting Anisimova in the finals if I were to fill out a bracket right now.
