so many people watching the Timea game, you could almost form a regulation size soccer team.
Seats management is seriously horrible at Roland Garros. Among other things.

Surprised me, it's the quarter finals and most seats are empty...

Timea is done barring a choke by Kiki, which is possible i guess.

Serena decided to turn on Serena.
Opponent is just not on her level.

I'm thinking the ITF may finally write a sternly worded letter to the French Open. It gives off a bad impression of our sport to the world when one of our 4 biggest yearly events have a crowd like that for a quarter finals match.
How about those Canadian Junior boys hey...
3 of them still around,Felix Auger Aliassime, Benjamin Sigouin and Denis Shapovalov =)

Felix Auger is the future of canadian mens tennis. I think he'll top Raonic' career after its all said and done.

Superb quality of tennis today between Thiem and Goffin. Goffin's returning was Djokovic-like from the end of the first set till midway through the second, while Thiem backed his forehand and made it when it mattered. Whole match turned on a dramatic set point during the 2nd set TB. Shame there were about 200 people watching it on Lenglen.
Thiem could make the final without having played on Chatrier since he and Djokovic are on Lenglen tomorrow. Doubt that's happened very often in Slam history.
Serena looked sluggish and was reduced to moonballs and reckless net rushing to recover the match against Putintseva. I think she'll find life easier against Bertens who plays a more conventional woman's game with less spin and more flat striking.

I think its completely unfair and absurd that some players have to go through 4 consecutive days of best of 3 set matches in a GS event...
Meanwhile the other half of the draw is in cruise control following their schedule with minimal changes.
Yes rain is unpredictable, yes tickets must be sold, yes the weekend brings more money. But ef that shit, make sure that you at least try to make things somewhat equal for all contenders. I dont consider fair someone to play 4 consecutive days while another enjoys proper rest. Mess with the other dudes schedules as well.

I think it's worth noting that Djokovic has already qualified for the Finals in London and it's only June
Yes, the athletes care about another revenue stream, surprise.
Doubles was always that side thing you did for funnsies until "double experts" showed up. Players, who couldn't compete in singles so they focused on doubles. It's fine. It enables Hingis to rank up her Grand Slam count but in the end doubles is nowhere near singles when it comes to prestige. Let's not kid ourselves.
Hey Diamond:
Thanks ! I was already aware of the offer,and it was already sold out when I checked. I'm unlucky this year.
At least the Lenglen should be full today.
