Laura Robson has retired. A big shame she never fulfilled her potential and persistent injuries robbed hr of a better career. She was always the much more promising player of the Robson vs Watson rivalry.

It really is sad to see someone lose their potential with so many injuries. I suppose it shows how we can't put all our hope in our careers, nonetheless I hope she's able to move on and find enjoyment elsewhere.

ATP have stripped Wimbledon of ranking points now, will be interesting to see if this prompts Wimbledon to change their decision which by banning Russian players, could in consequence lead to Daniil Medvedev becoming world #1 again :') (don't know whether that would be set in stone as there are other tournaments before then, but that would be 2,000 points that Djokovic can't defend and Medvedev will drop a lot less having only reached the fourth round last year)

 

Edit: WTA have followed suit

Is that a solution? just punishes the players that did well last year and defend points

The second favourite on those odds is already out. Ons Jabeur lost to Magda Linette today.

Don't tell me about it! Saw Jabeur in Madrid and thought she played amazingly, same in Rome, so decided to bet on her

as she had been playing so well and realistically was the only one I could see beating Swiatek

but alas, she's already out on Round 1 lol what a mess :o

Swiatek's name is surely already engraved on the trophy. The bottom half of the draw is so weak, defending champion Krejcikova out in the first round too.

 

Emma fought back from a set and a break down to win her first match though :D

Krejcikova was 6-2 2-0 ahead and just fell apart. She hasn't played since February so I suppose she wasn't fully fit.

 

Good to see Emma coming from behind to win her match.

Danielle Collins and Jelena Ostapenko are both through to the second round after straight-set wins over Viktoriya Tomova and Lucia Bronzetti, respectively.

Medvedev and Bagnis are battling through the latter currently, with the Russian a break up in the third and en route to an easy straight-sets win.

Danill Medvedev beats Bagnis 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 to reach the second round of the French Open.

Alizé Cornet, the home favourite who is unseeded but reached the quarter-final of the Australian Open earlier this year, beats Misaki Doi in straight sets Philippe-Chatrier, coming to the net to sweep a cross-court winner inside the baseline for match point.

Karolina Pliskova beats Andrianjafitrimo in three sets 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.

Helluva name that!

Oh dear, Emma out of the French Open.
