PARIS : World number three Jessica Pegula is not yet a part of the burgeoning "Big Three" rivalry on the women's tour but the American said Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina had earned the right to receive such recognition.
Aryna Sabalenka will be a tough proposition for anyone at the French Open if the current warm conditions continue, reckons Barbara Rittner. World No. 2 Sabalenka spent just one hour and 11 minutes on court as she saw off Marta Kostyuk, and appeared to be in fine fettle despite her recent first-round loss at the Italian Open in the lead-up to Roland-Garros.
Clay courts can be unpredictable. From 1995 to 2004, before Rafael Nadal claimed Roland Garros as his own personal domain, the French Open gave five men — Thomas Muster, Carlos Moya, Albert Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gaston Gaudio — their first and only Slam titles. It also gave Gustavo Kuerten all three of his.
Belarus's Aryna Sabalenka took her time to get going before easing into the second round of the French Open with a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 win over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in a feisty encounter on Sunday.
The 2023 French Open begins on Sunday, May 28 and runs through Sunday, June 11 at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. While this year’s field will feature Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic and many of your favorite tennis stars, one major name that will be sidelined from competition is Rafael Nadal. The 14-time French Open champion announced last week that he will miss the tournament for the first time in 19 years due to a left hip flexor injury.
Eurosport expert Laura Robson sees a bright future for British women despite the fact that there will be no Brits in the women’s draw for the French Open. It is the first time that a Grand Slam will not be graced by a single British woman since the 2009 US Open. Ad Emma Raducanu, Britain’s top-ranked woman, is sidelined with ankle and wrist injuries, while Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart and Fran Jones were all knocked out in the qualifying rounds at Roland-Garros.
Aryna Sabalenka's opening match in her quest for a second Grand Slam title has political undertones when she faces Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk at the French Open on Sunday, but the Belarusian has not time to delve on any negative feelings towards her.
The biggest clay tournament of the year is back with the French Open kicking off on Sunday May 28 in Paris, and it's looking to be a star-studded line-up on first day. With reigning champion Rafael Nadal out of the event for the first time since 2005, can any newcomers make their mark at Roland-Garros? Or will favourites Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz be competing in the latter stages? Ad On the women's side, Iga Swiatek will defend her title as the world No.
