Iga Swiatek is the French Open champion once again. Swiatek, the world’s No. 1 tennis player, defeated unseeded Karolina Muchova in the finals to claim her third Roland Garros title in four years.

Swiatek is now the first woman since Justine Henin to defend her French Open title. Henin did it in 2006 and 2007. 

Swiatek took control of the match early, winning the first set 6-2 and getting a 3-0 lead in the second set. However, Muchova showed she didn’t come to the finals by accident and bounced back to win the second set 7-5.

The third set also offered its thrills and saw Swiatek falling behind 3-4. However, Muchova couldn’t finish the comeback, surrendering three straight games to Swiatek.

“I really love being here,” Swiatek said after the match. “Basically, it’s my favorite place on tour.”

“That happens when you play one of the best: Iga,” Muchova added. “So I want to congratulate you out loud once again and your team.”

Iga Swiatek now won her fourth career Grand Slam and solidified the spot as the best female tennis player in the world. Her reign as the No. 1 on WTA rankings now dates back to April 2022.

Karolina Muchova, on the other hand, will look to use her first Grand Slam finals as a stepping stone for bigger and better things.

Roland Garros number one seed Carlos Alcaraz is set to face two-time former champion Novak Djokovic in what is a highly-anticipated semifinal clash on Friday.

Djokovic faced a stern quarterfinal test in the form of 11th seed Karen Khachanov, whom he came from behind to defeat 4-6, 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-4. The former ATP world number one admitted that he felt “quite sluggish, quite slow” for nearly two sets, even calling the match his worst period throughout the entire tournament. Djokovic had not dropped a set during his first four matches of the tournament.

Alcaraz faced off with fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, whom he dispatched of in a surprisingly one-sided 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (5) win. “Since the draw came out, everyone was expecting that match—the semifinal against Novak. Myself, as well. I really want to play that match,” Alcaraz commented. The 20-year-old Spaniard will look to win his second Grand Slam title, having won the 2022 US Open.

WTA world number three Jessica Pegula has become the highest-ranked women’s singles player to be eliminated from the French Open. The 29-year-old American was defeated 6-1, 6-3 by Belgian Elise Mertens in the third round of the competition on Friday.

Pegula struggled to find form at the start of the match, allowing Mertens to race to a 5-0 lead in the first set after just 26 minutes of play. The American also lost her composure, throwing her racket to the ground in frustration after Mertens broke her service for a second consecutive time.

“I feel like I was still playing good points,” Pegula said after her loss. “Elise was just being really tough, not making a lot of errors and making me play every single ball. And with the windy conditions, I felt like it definitely played into her game.”

Mertens, a former number-one doubles player, will face 2021 French Open runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the fourth round on Sunday. She will hope to make it past the fourth round for the first time in the competition in her career.

Rafael Nadal announced on Thursday that he wouldn’t take part in this year’s French Open due to a hip injury. The Spanish tennis player also said that he will likely retire after the 2024 tennis season.

Nadal didn’t play since January when he was eliminated in the second round of the Australian Open by Mackenzie McDonald. The 37-year-old player was visibly bothered by a hip injury from which he still hasn’t recovered four months later.

Speaking with Spanish media this week, Nadal said that he wanted to play at French Open but that his body wasn’t ready for the challenge.

“Even though your head wants to keep going, your body says this is as far it goes,” Nadal told the reporters.

Nadal expects that he won’t be ready to play again for at least several months but does intend to make one final run next year.

“You never know how things will turn out, but my intention is that next year will be my last year,” he added.

Rafael Nadal is currently tied with Novak Djokovic for most Grand Slam titles with 22. More than half of those titles (14) came at French Open, where he has played every year since 2018 and has a 112-3 record. He was forced to withdraw at the 2016 French Open due to a wrist injury before the third round.

Barbora Krejcikova’s bid for back-to-back French Open titles came to an early end. Krejcikova, who won the 2021 Roland Garros, is out of this year’s tournament after a 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to teenager Diane Parry in the first round.

Krejcikova entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed and was expected to make a deep run playing her first tournament since the elbow injury she suffered back in February. However, the unseeded Parry’s energy proved to be too much of an obstacle for the veteran.

Parry, ranked No. 96 in the world, has become the lowest-ranked woman to beat the No. 2 seed after Kim Clijsters lost to 114th-ranked Arantxa Rus in 2011. The 19-year-old player will now face Camila Osorio in the second round to try and make her best career French Open run.

The elimination of Krejcikova, who became just the third woman in Roland Garros history to exit the tournament in the first round after winning it the year prior, wasn’t the only surprise of the early part of the tournament. Former No. 1 and four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka also ended her run at French Open. Osaka was ousted in two sets (7-5, 6-4) by American Amanda Anisimova.

The ultra-long tennis matches at Grand Slam tournaments are becoming a thing of the past. Instead, the four Grand Slams— Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and US Open—they adopted a new final set rule that will help determine a winner in tie situations much faster.

According to the Grand Slam Board, in the situation that the tennis match is tied at 6-6 in the final set, the players will play a 10-point tiebreak. The player that reaches 10 points first will be crowned a winner. However, the requirement of a two-point lead will still be in place.

The 10-point tiebreak will first be tested at the 2022 French Open and will be used for all the rest Grand Slams this year. If the trial proves to be successful, the rule will become permanent.

“The decision is based on a strong desire to create greater consistency in the rules of the game at the Grand Slams, and thus enhance the experience for the players and fans alike,” the Grand Slam Board said in a statement. “The Grand Slam Board plan to review the trial during the course of a full Grand Slam year, in consultation with the WTA, ATP, and ITF, before applying for any permanent rule change.”

All four Grand Slams previously had different ways of determining a winner when the match was tied in the final set. For example, the Australian Open used the 10-point tiebreak rule, and US Open had the standard seven-point tiebreak.

Wimbledon would extend the final set until one player would get a two-game lead. However, if the set would get to 12-12 at any point, the match would then proceed in a seven-point tiebreak.

Finally, French Open had no tiebreaks and would have the match go on until one player managed to get a two-game lead.

The world’s number one ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic once again showed his excellence in tough moments. Despite falling down into a 0-2 hole against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2021 French Open finals, Djokovic rallied back to defeat the Greek and to claim his second Roland Garros title.

The 6-7 (6), 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win made Djokovic the first male tennis player in the Open Era to win all four Grand Slams at least twice. He also now has 19 career Grand Slams, putting him just one behind Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who each have 20.

“I’m very proud, very happy. I don’t want to stop there,” said Djokovic at the press conference. “Hopefully I can keep on [winning] here in Roland Garros, at least one or two more times.”

By winning the French Open and previously the Australian Open, Djokovic now has a chance to win all four Grand Slams in a single year. If he manages to top Wimbledon and the US Open, he will become only the third male player to win the calendar-year Grand Slam.

Novak Djokovic entered the match looking tired and sluggish, while youthful Stefanos Tsitsipas kept his game on point and won the first two sets. Djokovic took a locker room break before the third set, and it was a completely different game after that. His shots started to fall in, he was more composed, and his serve became impeccable. 

Tsitsipas, who was playing in his first Grand Slam finals, didn’t know how to adjust to this sudden change of pace. While he scrambled to regain his dominance on the court, Djokovic had already erased the deficit, and it was too late to stop him in the fifth.

“I’d like to thank the Greek fans, and my team, who are constantly behind me, for my dreams. This is a long journey,” said Tsitsipas.

Roger Federer made a successful return to Grand Slam action on Monday, defeating Denis Istomin in the first round of the 2021 French Open. This marked Federer’s first major tournament appearance after 487 days of hiatus.

Despite the long break, caused by two knee surgeries, Federer demonstrated impressive dominance on the court. He needed only three sets to deal with Istomin (6-2, 6-4, 6-3) while not allowing any breaks and producing 48 winners compared to 20 unforced errors.

Federer, who has one Roland Garros win on his resume, will face Marin Cilic in the second round of the tournament.

The last time Roger Federer played a Grand Slam match was the 2020 Australian Open, where he was eliminated in the semi-finals. Shortly after, Federer underwent a right knee surgery to deal with an issue that was bothering him for quite some time. Following a setback in recovery, he was forced to have another procedure on the same knee and didn’t return to competitive tennis until March 2021.

The 2021 French Open already saw some major names being eliminated from the tournament, including the reigning US Open champion Dominic Thiem. He was defeated by unseeded Spaniard Pablo Andujar despite holding a 2-0 lead after two sets.

There was a surprising exit in women’s singles as well, with 2021 Australian Open winner Naomi Osaka deciding to withdraw from competitions. Osaka made the decision after being threatened with sanctions for her refusal to attend press conferences.

Rafael Nadal is the undisputed “King of Clay,” and he showed that once again at the 2020 French Open. Nadal faced the world’s No.1 Novak Djokovic in the tournament’s finals on Sunday and got a dominant 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 win to claim his 20th, record-tying, Grand Slam.

Although he caught up to Roger Federer in terms of Grand Slam wins, Nadal wasn’t focused on that achievement. Instead, he embraced the fact that he won his 13th Roland Garros, more than anyone ever by a large margin, and that he did it without surrendering a single set in this year’s run.

“[To] win here means everything to me, no? It’s not the moment, honestly … [to] think today about the 20th,” said Nadal after the match. “Roland Garros means everything to me. I spent, here, the most important moments—or most of the most important moments—in my tennis career, no doubt about that.”

It sounds almost unbelievable, but Rafael Nadal owns a 100-2 record at French Open and is 26-0 in semi-finals and finals. His only two losses came in 2009 when he lost to Robin Soderling in the fourth round, and in 2015, when eventual champion Stan Wawrinka eliminated him in quarter-finals. The only other time that Nadal participated at Roland Garros but didn’t win was in 2016 when he had to withdraw due to wrist injury.

Novak Djokovic, on the other hand, remained at one French Open win and 17 Grand Slams. This was only his fourth loss to Nadal in the last 18 matches. Djokovic still holds a 29-27 head-to-head record.

“What you are doing in this court is unbelievable. Not just this court—throughout your entire career, you’ve been a great champion,” Djokovic told Nadal during the trophy presentation. “Today you showed why you are King of the Clay.”

The reigning US Open champion Naomi Osaka won’t be chasing more Grand Slam glory this year. Osaka issued a statement on social media on Thursday announcing that she won’t play at 2020 French Open.

According to Osaka, she is dealing with hamstring issues and believes that she won’t have enough time to recover before the start of the tournament. French Open is set to start on September 21st, after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Unfortunately I won’t be able to play the French Open this year,” Osaka wrote on Twitter. “My hamstring is still sore so I won’t have enough time to prepare for the clay — these 2 tournaments came too close to each other for me this time. I wish the organizers and players all the best.”

Despite winning the Australian Open and lifting the US Open trophy twice, Naomi Osaka didn’t see much success at French Open. She played the tournament four times and reached the third round three times, which stands as her biggest success. Osaka was eliminated last year by Katerina Siniakova.

Osaka isn’t the only high-profile tennis player to miss the tournament this year. Defending French Open champ and No.1 ranked tennis player in the world Ashleigh Barty also decided not to take part, citing concerns over coronavirus pandemic.
