French Open: Keeping things simple is Iga Swiatek's mantra
Not letting yourself overanalyze is the hardest thing, says red-hot PolePARIS: Iga Swiatek was in full flight at Roland Garros this fortnight. Wings spread and soaring. Pressure?

I wanted the French Open title so bad for myself: Coco Gauff
Gauff's first Grand Slam without homework. The 18-year-old, who graduated from high school last month, thought the high of finishing school helped her at a time when results were not exactly going her way on a tennis court.

Rafael Nadal wins 22nd Grand Slam title and 14th French Open crown with straight sets demolition of Casper Ruud
Rafael Nadal celebrated his record-extending 14th French Open title with a two-hander that whistled through the air and kicked the chalk. The champion then tossed his racket, tearing up as he covered his face before embracing his opponent - Casper Ruud. AS IT HAPPENEDThe ochre-hued stage was set earlier in the day, Court Philippe-Chatrier was at capacity and the troubling weather predictions had been binned. The sun made periodic appearances early in the match, perhaps to greet the 13-time champion, before coming out in all its glory in the second half of the final. That worked like a roller on the crushed red-brick carpet and Nadal was skipping around the shale and stinging like a bee. So much so that Ruud only won eight points in the third set.
Los torneos clásicos sobre hierba
El torneo de Stuttgart, ahora denominado Boss Open por razones de patrocinio, es uno de los más antiguos del tenis. Su primera edición fue en 1898, aunque después desapareció y se recuperó en 1978. Desde entonces hasta 2014 se disputó sobre tierra batida. Nadal, Federer, Lendl o Agassi figuran en el palmarés de una cita de categoría 250 que, además del premio monetario, entrega un automóvil de la casa Mercedes, con sede en la ciudad, a sus ganadores.
