Cameron Norrie beat Alex Molcan 6-3 6-7 (3) 6-1 in the final of the Lyon Open to win a first clay-court title of his career. The world No. 11 dominated the opening set, securing three breaks of serve, but passed up two match points in set two – in the 10th game – before Molcan sent the final to a deciding set after dominating the tie-break.
Ahead of the 2022 French Open, 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz has insisted he is a “different person” and a “different player” compared to when he competed at last year’s tournament. The Spaniard most recently thrashed Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-1 in straight sets in the Madrid Open final, following victories over Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic earlier in the tournament, to claim his fourth title of the year.
PARIS — Top-ranked Canadian player Félix Auger-Aliassime isn’t exactly cursed at the French Open.
Tim Henman believes Rafael Nadal is a slight favourite over Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz to win the French Open if he is fully healthy. The second major of the year gets underway on Sunday, and it is shaping up to be a thrilling affair with so many subplots. Ad/> One of the key narratives concerns Nadal, who made a blistering start to the season and bagged his 21st Grand Slam at the Australian Open.
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.
French Open tournament director and retired former world No 1 Amelia Mauresmo has refused to comment on Rafael Nadal's chances at the tournament amid his injury woes. The two-time Grand Slam champion said she had learned her "lesson" after doubting his hopes in 2020, when he won his then-record equalling 20th Major title.
Following the announcement that Britain’s Laura Robson has retired from tennis at the age of 28 after three hip operations (Report, 16 May), I feel that a review of the sport and its impact on the long-term health of participants is overdue. Laura joins a long list of players who have had surgery at what is a relatively young age (Andy Murray, hip; Roger Federer, knee; Serena Williams, knee; Rafael Nadal, ankle). Procedures such as hip replacements only last about 15 years, so former players will probably face further surgery, not to mention the likelihood of suffering with arthritis in old age.
The French Open is the first grand slam in two years that will be free of Covid restrictions. That is cause for celebration, especially if you are the Serbian with 20 major wins who is defending his title at Roland Garros.
