Carlos Alcaraz can have a similar impact on tennis as Tiger Woods had on golf, according to Eurosport expert Mats Wilander. Alcaraz, 20, is the world No. 1 and top seed at Roland-Garros as he seeks his second Grand Slam title and first on the famous red dirt in Paris.
Eurosport expert Mats Wilander has branded the decision not to stage any women’s matches in the night sessions of the French Open so far as “ridiculous”. Four days into the competition, all late matches on Court Philippe-Chatrier have been reserved for the men, a decision that has sparked debate with World No.1 Iga Swiatek, Wilander and Tim Henman weighing in with opinion. Ad It was an issue raised last year by Barbara Schett, who believed the WTA would speak to Roland-Garros organisers about what she felt was a disparity in the schedule, but alas, it remains a talking point in 2023.
Eurosport expert John McEnroe has accused Jannik Sinner of “blowing” the chance of beating Daniel Altmaier to advance to the French Open third round, sensationally saying the Italian “choked”.

Ad Remarkably, the German saved two match points on Sinner’s serve at 4-5 in the fourth set and then held his nerve to emerge victorious in the decider.

Ad However, at the awards ceremony for the MARCA Leyenda award, where he was the winner, the Frenchman addressed the rumours about his Bernabeu future, playing down talk of a move.

Coco Gauff is into round three of the French Open after overcoming the unseeded Julia Grabher 6-2 6-3. Despite the scoreline, Gauff didn't have things all her own way in what was at times a scrappy affair, but ultimately, her class shone through. Ad «She's a tricky player», Gauff admitted afterwards.
Day two of the Allianz Regatta saw lead changes in three classes with the ILCA 7 looking like the tightest of all as it stands. A pair of second-place finishes from Finland's Valtteri Uusitalo was enough for him to move into first place overall, despite two wins for Willem Wiersema, who is now up to third. Ad And with just three points separating the top three – previous leader Duko Bos is second – it is the most evenly-matched class of the six so far.
