World number three Jessica Pegula's hopes of hoisting her maiden Grand Slam trophy ended in despair on Friday after a 6-1 6-3 defeat by Belgian Elise Mertens in the French Open third round.
World No. 3 Jessica Pegula became the highest-ranked player in the women's draw to exit the French Open on Thursday.
Elise Mertens produced the biggest upset of the French Open women’s draw so far as she dismantled third seed Jessica Pegula with a 6-1 6-3 third-round victory. Pegula had not played much in the previous round with her opponent, Camila Giorgi, having to retire after just one set. Ad The American was nevertheless the favourite after reaching quarter-finals in four of the last five Grand Slams, including last year at Roland-Garros, but she was outclassed by Mertens on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Daria Kasatkina issued a statement of intent at the French Open by flattening Peyton Stearns 6-0 6-1 in just 55 minutes to reach the fourth round. The ninth seed bageled her beleaguered opponent in 25 minutes to take the opening set and broke early in the second to seize control of a one-sided encounter. Ad Stearns eventually got on the board after a run of eight consecutive games for the Russian, but she was soon broken again as Kasatkina continued her relentless march towards victory.

So while Axel Mazella is doing everything within his power not to think about Paris 2024, the Frenchman admits it is not easy. Ad Leading the way in the Formula Kite Men at the Allianz Regatta through two days of competition, Mazella is one of a strong French contingent looking to nab the lone spot on the host team in Marseille next year.
UEFA will decide on Friday whether to replace Champions League final referee Szymon Marciniak due to his alleged links with a far-right movement in Poland.
John McEnroe says he loved watching Taylor Fritz 'shushing' a partisan Paris crowd at the French Open and praised the American for “using negative fuel to his advantage”. Fritz was booed by the home supporters during his four-set victory over Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech on Thursday night and celebrated victory by putting his finger to his lips. Ad The American then repeated the gesture during his on-court interview, as jeers continued to be directed at him by a hostile Roland-Garros crowd.
