Roland Garros, Women's French Open 2026 - Grand Slam

thanks for the update.. with Keys unless she has 5 or 6 consecutive mps I am leery of her finding a way to snatch defeat from victory

I am now watching this match live, Keys has been adding variety to her game in this match, Vicky not playing her best, she needed to raise her level after the 1st set, she hasnt been able to do that so far in the 2nd set
Keys is now 4-1 2nd set and looking good, of course when I typed that Vicky breaks back lol!
Back on serve now in the 2nd set as Vicky consolidated her break
4 all 2nd set
Madison has a BP, not to be Vicky with a good first serve holds
5 all 2nd set
Madison with a poor service game DFs and Vicky breaks and will serve for the 2nd set 6-5
Vicky won the 2nd set 75, '
Going 3, Madison going to a bathroom break

BTW,
Coco Gauff will now fall out of the Top 5 in the rankings following her loss to Potapova in the 3rd rd
Potapova was icing her wrist/ forearm after the match, I hope it is nothing serious

Madison will find a way to snatch defeat from a sure victory.. however Vicky M is a very good player so this was expected to be a match

I thought Madison would win in straight sets, just one poor service game with a DF handed the break to Vicky and won the 2nd set 75

I know Gauff being the defending champion was kind of a shock going out in the 3rd rd, Gauff and Potapova have a H2H 2 all, though they had not played each other recently', though Coco's recent form was below her level this year.
The biggest shock for me was the No 2 seed Rybakina going out with 71 UFE in her match, 49 of them on her fhand, which she left in the locker room

One day Coco is gonna get tired of beating herself..she is consistently her worst enemy.. She has so much experience that should help her from upset like this..

Getting back to the 3rd set between Madison and Vicky
Madison on her 2nd BP breaks and now will try to consolidate the break at 4-2
Madison leads 5-2 in the 3rd set, dont stuff this up now Madison ( in a quiet voice)
Madison hitting her fhand well in this match, with little error.
Madison will now serve for the match at 5-3
Madison honestly? broken, another poor service game when it mattered!
Vicky with a love service game
5 games all 3rd set, Madison you have only yourself to blame if you loose this match!
Vicky will serve at 5-6 to force a TB for the 3rd set
No need for the TB as Keys breaks Vicky and she wins the match 63 57 75

I told you she needs a slew of mps to win a match like this.. she had 3 consecutive.. that's the only way with Keys

She will defeat the next girl but Saba/Osaka will be Epic!

First time Osaka has made it this far at RG, my money is on Saba she is a better mover than Osaka for starters on the clay and I trust her serve as well

6-0, 6-1 for Saba....although I would prefer a double bagel and an announcement of retirement from NO.

I dont know about Saba is a better mover than Osaka.. I have a feeling she has been waiting for Saba

Predictions on the other side, will Iga make it through Kostyuk and Svitolina?

Kostyuk is playing great and hasnt been tested, Elina playing better now since her 1st match
Iga has a H2H 3-0 over Kostyuk at present and includes a victory on clay
Iga has a H2H 4-2 over Svitolina

I said at the start of this tournament I am not writing off Iga, her best surface is clay
I expect her to come through ( though dont quote me lol! this tournament has seen some strange results and upsets
