Katie Boulter has demanded that the French Open immediately remove on court sponsorship boards after a series of tripping incidents culminated in a injury to another player.
Following her match, Boulter posted a warning on social platform X stating,
"These Things Have To Go. Got lucky last night but next time I might not be:.
The situation escalated when Turkey's Zeynep Sonmez was forced to retire from her doubles match after colliding with a similar block. She suffered a heavily bruised knee and required 2 stitches.
Several high profile players have backed the safety campaign.Iga Swaitek and ATP player Alexander Blockx - who withdrew with ankle injury caused by the boards, have all vocally criticized the hazzard

Goodness me Osaka is channeling her " Inner Eiffel Tower as she steps on court against 17 yo American teenager Jovic
This is Osaka's day time outfit, all golden colour with beads and a see through long tulle skirt :) of course she takes off the tulle skirt to play her match:) looks like she could go straight into a cocktail party with that outfit after she finishes her match :)
Tight first set and Osaka and her 'Inner Eiffel Tower' outfit won the 1st set 76(5) her serve won with Aces coming to her aid when needed
Looks like we are headed to another TB for the 2nd set 5 all
Really good TB from the 17o teenager Jovic 76(3), terrible TB from Osaka sprayed fhand errors galore
Going 3
Sorry I had a computer failure,
Osaka d Jovic 76(5) 67(3) 64

Gauff won the 1st set 64
Potapova played a great TB and Gauff was woeful sad to say, ufe spraying off her racket, Potapova won 76(1)
The defending champion must re set her level for the final 3rd set

LOL! Murat actually it has now reached the 'embarrassment level' I just dont understand her thinking to why she goes to these lengths, to me she never was interested in any sort of fashion, she said it takes her and Nike 6 months in advance to come up with these new wave ideas for her outfits for GS, shudder to think what she will be wearing at Wimbledon, where the rules are very strict for outfits and of course colour.

Potapova 5-4 with Coco about to serve
Another upset as the defending champion Gauff goes out to Potapova
Potapova d Gauff 46 76(1) 64

Note:

Match between Mboko v Keys appears to be a Break A Thon early in their match
Keys leads at present 4-2 AP will be happy for Keys if she can win this match
Madison breaks Vicky to love and wins the 1st set 63
Vicky needs to raise her level for the 2nd set, she is too good of a player not to.
