Roland Garros 2020


A damp cool day in Paris, its the reason the tournament is normally played in the spring. I think the older players are in trouble because of the weather.

2 American men remaining

0 American women remaining
Hell, I am surprised there are still 2 American men remaining. In recent years, clay (Roland Garros) has not been the Americans' best surface. I think the last Americans to win there was Andre Agassi in 1999 or there about, and Serena Williams in 2015.
 
Venus may need to hang it up.
I am gonna wait until after Wimbledon 2021 before I start to say that. True, she has been going out in the first rounds lately in these Grand Slams. Maybe this is totally different, but I have seen younger women, who are ranked much higher than Venus go out in the first round too.

Sebastian Korda - he has the heritage - lets see what happens.

Kenin and Collins - both can play solid tennis, but you need more to get deep into the second week, I hope they can pull it off.
 
Title favourites Simona Halep and Kiki Bertens suffer fourth-round defeats as Nadal crushes Korda


Iga Swiatek handed top-seeded Simona Halep a 6-1, 6-2 defeat in the Roland-Garros fourth round on Sunday to avenge her exit to the Romanian last year in Paris at the very same stage.

The 19-year-old Pole produced a devastating performance against the 2018 champion to storm into a maiden Grand Slam quarter-final.

The 54th-ranked Swiatek, a former Wimbledon junior champion and Roland-Garros junior doubles champion, fired 30 winners and won 81 per cent of her first-serve points, wrapping up the win in just 68 minutes.

"I don't know what happened actually, I felt like I was playing perfectly, I was so focused the whole match, even I am surprised that I can to that," an elated Swiatek told Cedric Pioline on court.

Halep, who crushed Swiatek in a 45-minute rout in the French capital last year before falling to American teenager Amanda Anisimova, was on a 17-match winning streak entering the contest on Sunday and has now suffered her earliest Roland-Garros exit since 2016.
