Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova has been knocked out of the first round of the French Open after losing 1-6 6-2 6-3 to Diane Parry. The second seed came arrived in France looking to defend her title and looked to be in control of the match after comfortably taking the first set.
There was a delay in proceedings during defending champion Barbora Krejcikova's first-round match against Diane Parry due to an unpopular rule at the French Open. With the second seed from the Czech Republic holding a 6-1 2-1 lead with a break of serve in the second set, she was forced to delay continuing the match due to fans taking an age to shuffle around and find their seats inside Court Philippe Chatrier.
American teenager Coco Gauff did not let 10 double-faults, 12 break points or a warning from the chair umpire about receiving coaching from her father disrupt her progress into the second round at Roland Garros.
Iga Swiatek’s form is raising temperatures in tennis. The world No.1 is coming into the French Open on a 28-match winning streak which has given her five titles. “I know that I did some great stuff this season, so I feel like I can play freely now and not think I have to win some tournaments or I have to win some matches or I have to save some points,” the 20-year-old said in an interaction.
It's that time of the year when the clay-court specialists assemble on the red dirt of Roland Garros. The French Open is upon us, so who will prevail? Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Barbora Krejcikova, Rafael Nadal and Britain's Emma Raducanu will all be hoping to stake their claim.
Barbora Krejcikova said she is fit and mentally recharged to defend her title at this year's French Open after recovering from an elbow injury. Czech world number two Krejcikova last played at the Qatar Open in February, a month after lifting the Australian Open's doubles title with partner Katerina Siniakova. She withdrew on the eve of Indian Wells in March because of an elbow injury, which she said was due to her workload in 2021.
US Open champion Emma Raducanu will start her French Open campaign against a qualifier, assuming she’s fit enough to play at Roland-Garros.
The other big change is that there will be tiebreakers in the final set now. Previously, deciding sets have just continued until there was a winner, but now there will be a first-to-ten super tiebreak to break the deadlock.
