'Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter have done something special. They have written their names in history on the clay of northern France with an extraordinary victory.
A first win in France. They will enjoy this moment - they deserve to. Simply stunning!'
'Raducanu has been simply superb over the past two days.'
Can Emma be 'simply superb' for several successive matches and stay injury free?
When I saw Emma’s match against Karolina Pliskova tomorrow was cancelled I feared the worst. Turns out it’s Pliskova who’s had to pull out due to injury.
She gave an interview to Sky before the tournament gets under way in Madrid…
Amusing that the French Open organisers have had to ban drinking in the stands due to unruly behaviour considering
a) The more genteel image of tennis when compared to other sports b) The image we have that the French are civilised drinkers when compared to the British and other northern Europeans!

yeah no argument with the national stereotypes but come on, tennis on clay you need to be ratarsed, it's just soooo dull
Not really been following the French open, but crazy that Djokovic's game didn't finish until 3:07 this morning. The Wimbledon curfew to keep the locals happy, seems pretty sensible, apart from anything else, imagine trying to get home from Wimbledon after midnight!

Hopefully many more to follow
Let's hope he can avoid injury and stay fit for Wimbledon.
Fearnley outside the top 500 at the start of the tournament.
Harris inside the top 150 for the first time.
Not sure if his Wimbledon now hangs in the balance?
Only two others have ever beaten Alcaraz on grass: Sinner and Medvedev - both of whom have been or became world no. 1.
It’s time to get carried away. Draper is winning Wimbledon
