Nice match by Coco, Sloane feel apart in the second set. Sloane finished the first set very strong (even though she lost), but she could not keep it up during the second set.

GAUFF BREAKS NEW GROUND ON MAJOR STAGE
https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/rg2022-gauff-stephens-quarter-final-report
American teenager Coco Gauff will vie for her maiden Grand Slam final after denying compatriot Sloane Stephens at Roland-Garros on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old’s 7-5, 6-2 victory over the 2017 US Open champion earned her a last-four showdown against fellow first-time major semi-finalist Martina Trevisan, who defeated Gauff en route to quarters in Paris in 2020.
The only time the Gauff and Stephens had met previously came in the opening round at Flushing Meadows last year, when Hurricane Ida was bearing down above and Stephens stormed to a straight-sets result.
On Tuesday, it was a far more composed and consistent Gauff who weathered a late first-set resurgence to reverse the result in 90 minutes and become the youngest Grand Slam semi-finalist since Amanda Anisimova in Paris three years ago.

Good win for Rafa, a sloppy match, but I am happy Rafa beat Novak.
Hmmmmmm!! Interesting.
I re-watched this match on the tennis channel. For the life of me, I did not see what you saw.

I think Novak made too many unforced errors, especially in the first and third sets. Rafa just went off the boil in the second set. The fourth set was better. I have high expectations for both players.

Congratulations to Coco to getting to her first final at a major.
I would be shocked if Coco beat Iga, she is playing unbelievable tennis!
From the link above:
It'll mark the third career WTA Tour meeting between Swiatek and Gauff. Swiatek won each of the first two matchups (2021 Rome and 2022 Miami) in straight sets.

I still think that Felix Auger-Aliassime gave Nadal a tougher fight. Unforced errors? Well in the game of tennis, "those are just the fleas that comes with the dog".
I totally agree.

Men's tennis has more appeal than women's, says French Open boss
Women's tennis is not as appealing as the men's game at the moment, French Open tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said after questions were raised about the scheduling of the claycourt Grand Slam on Wednesday.
Tennis fans, do yall agree with this?

Based on attendance I would say that is true. I dont have ratings numbers, so I cant talk about that, only what I see when attending or watching matches. With the top women with personality like Venus, Serena, Steffi, Monica, Chris E. Martina N. etc.. they draw as well if not better than the men.

This is so sad, Zverev is off the court with an injury. He was screaming in pain. He came back on the court using crutches.... SO SAD! Its looks like an ankle injury.

That's the same thing I was thinking. Its just not the same, especially without Serena.

8:00 am CDT Women's single final on Saturday morning. Women's doubles on Sunday.
WITH WISHES FROM MICHELLE OBAMA, GAUFF GOING FOR A SWEEP
https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/...rom-michelle-obama-gauff-going-for-the-double
Coco Gauff is so tuned into business mode that she didn’t pick up on a pretty significant message of support that was sent her way on social media.
The teenager is vying for a singles and doubles clean sweep at Roland-Garros.
Gauff and her partner Jessica Pegula booked their ticket to the women’s doubles final by posting a 6-4, 7-6(4) win over fellow Americans Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend on Saturday; less than 24 hours after Gauff had reached a maiden Grand Slam singles final with victory over Martina Trevisan.
Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, the 2016 Roland-Garros champions, completed the final quartet by reeling in 14th seeds Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a close last-four showdown that was interrupted by rain.
Overnight, former First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted, “Congrats Coco Gauff, I’m so proud of you, and I will be rooting for you all the way!”

Congratulations to Iga and Rafa on your Roland Garros singles championships.
Iga is playing very strong, there are a couple of Americans that maybe able to beat her at Wimbledon, but we will talk about that later.
Rafa also had a great tournament, I was worried about his foot going into the championships, but he survived. There was a lot of talk that this maybe his last time playing for the title in Paris. I am thinking about going back to Roland Garros next year if the world doesn't descend in to more chaos.
Coco has to get some depths to her shots if she is going to be Iga.
Rudd needs some more experience to beat the top players, but he is looking good.
Its good seeing Rudd and Korda, the children of high ranking men players trying to make it to the top.
