French Open 2018 results: Novak Djokovic bounced; Madison Keys, Sloane Stephens set for semifinal

Novak Djokovic is out of the French Open after being stunned by 72nd-ranked Marco Cecchinato on Monday. The 12-time Grand Slam winner fought through a bothersome neck and right leg before falling to Cecchinato, who before Monday was most well-known for a match-fixing suspension that was eventually overturned on appeal.

Now Cecchinato, who hadn't won a Grand Slam match until last week, is into the French Open semifinals after humbling Djokovic 6-3, 7-6 (4), 1-6, 7-6 (11). He's the lowest-seed men's singles player to reach the semifinal at Roland-Garros in 19 years.
 



I was pulling for Sloane, but happy to see Halep win her first major after several attempts.

At last: Halep wins Roland-Garros

https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/...s-sloane-stephens-to-win-womens-singles-title

Sometimes history finds a way to repeat itself with the addition of an unforeseen quirk, to fashion the happiest of new chapters. So it was for Simona Halep in the final of Roland-Garros 2018.

One year ago on Court Philippe-Chatrier, she led Jelena Ostapenko by a set and a break, only for the Latvian to turn the match on its head and break her opponent’s heart.

Twelve months on, Halep found herself a set and a break down to Sloane Stephens, looking down the barrel of her fourth defeat in a Grand Slam final. She didn’t much like the view.

With the weight of global expectation on her shoulders, Halep forced her way back, past an opponent playing with the freedom of one who has already exceeded expectation by reaching the final. This time, the Romanian would not be defeated, pushing on through exhaustion all the way to victory. Halep won 3-6 6-4 6-1. The world No.1 is at last a Grand Slam champion.

"It was amazing and I felt your support," Halep told the crowd during an on-court interview.

"In the last game I felt I cannot breathe any more. So I just tried not to repeat the (outcome from) last year. So I did everything I could, it's amazing what is happening now. Honestly I cannot believe it. I was dreaming for this moment since I started to play tennis. I'm really happy that it's happened in Roland-Garros in Paris. My special city."
 
Unstoppable

Rafael Nadal, once again the uncontrollable sporting force of nature that continues to inspire awe in us all, rampaged his way to an 11th Roland-Garros title in his 11th final here on Sunday to extend perhaps the most fantastic domination of a single global championship that sport has witnessed.

It was a no less brutal, brilliant and breathtaking performance than any of the other 10 but his 6-4 6-3 6-2 triumph over a plucky but outclassed and overwhelmed final debutant Dominic Thiem may have been even more startling in its manner, the emphatic way he dismantled the Austrian pretender’s blistering game and imposed his own monstrous version.

It was a complete performance and a complete demolition. And for Thiem, seeking to be the first Austrian Grand Slam winner since Thomas Muster here 23 years ago, a completely demoralising experience as he never attained the heights of which he’s capable.

The 24-year-old was suffocated in the king’s lair, the only time it seemed possible he might come up for air being in the third set when Nadal, 2-1 and 30-love up, suddenly called for the trainer, struggling with cramp in the fingers of his racquet hand.
