Tennis player Jessica Pegula discussed how amazing it is to dominate other amazing American women in tennis.
Seriously
Entering on Thursday’s draw for the French Open, there was only one huge story: Where will the female champion four, IGA sweatek in the last five years?
Recently, due to a dip, the sweeping number 5 fell on the shocking number 5 seed, which means one of the top four seeds would face the most skillful clay courtyard of its generation in the quarter -finals.
Necklace of that random drawing? Jasmine Paolini, who lost to Swetek in the last year’s final and falls in the top form, won the Italian Open only in her country.
Big winner? Coco Goff.
Goff, No. 2 seeded American is still looking for a second Grand Slam title after winning 2023 US Open, this year’s French will start as a very solid favorite who shaken the draw that the draw was shaken.
Not only did Goff Dodge Swiyatech until the minimum final, all of other major contenders for the title finished in the top half of the draw with No. 1 Seed Aryana Sabalenka.
Goff, who recently lost in the finals of Rome (Paolini) and Madrid (for Sabalenka), even avoided difficult opponents in the early stages – at least on paper. His possible third round rival, number 30 Anna Kalinskaya, did not move beyond the second round in Paris. In the fourth round, he will be estimated to face former Roland Garos winner Berbor Crassicova, who is getting out of a back injury and has not played official matches this year.
In the quarter -finals, Goff will potentially play the number 7 Madison Keys, who started the year with the Australian Open title, but has cooled quite cold in the last few months. And the most potential semi -final opponents of Goff will be number 6 Mirra Andreva, which he has recently been beaten twice in routine fashion on clay, or number 3 seeded American Jessica Pegula, which is much more comfortable on the hard court than the French surface.
Meanwhile, if the Sabalenka is going to finalize, it will have to deal with several stumbling, including a quarter -final against Zheng Kinwen, who won the Olympics in Rolland Garos last year, and whoever emerges from the Paolini/Swiytech quarter. Of course, even sweatec cannot reach there as he is potentially ready for a 16 match with 2017 French champion Jelna Ostapenco, which he has never defeated in six matches.
There are four other major observation from the French Open Draw here.
- We can finally receive generic synergies and Carlos Alakraj in a Grand Slam final. For whatever reason, the top two players in men’s tennis have never met with one of four big trophies on the line between their 11 career matches. But given how these two have cleaned the ground, it is fixed to happen many times – perhaps starting from here. Sinner, who won the last two slams, came out of three months suspension, he interacted with Wada on last year’s banned substance positive (whom he convicted contamination), and reached the finals in Rome before getting out of gas against Alkaraz. In fact, Alakraj has won four of his last four meetings and has a total growth of 7–4 in rivalry-but since last year’s French Open, Sinner is 52-2 against everyone.
- Novak Djokovic is a big secret. Since retiring from the Australian Open semi-finals due to injury, it is just 6–5 as Thursday morning, later this week’s ends in a warm-up tournament in Geneva. The truth is that, Djokovic did not just look great because he had miraculously won the Olympic title in the last summer. But this is not surprising: at the age of 38 and after completing everything there in the game, their physical decline and motivation are the major question marks. Given that we have seen for more than a calendar year from Djokovic, its fourth French crown is less likely to grind the best matches on the clay to win. Nevertheless, it would not be surprising if Djokovic took advantage of a very favorable draw, reached the quarter -finals and even defeated number 3 Seed Alexander Zerev to get a glimpse of hope.
- Oddly, most American men were lukewarm in a trimester by number 4 Taylor Fritz in a quarter. He may face number 32 Alex Micelsen in the third round and either Francis Tiafo or Sebastian Corda in the fourth round. The favorite of emerging from the quarter, however, may be the number 8 seed Lorenzo Musetty, a dazzling Italian shotmaker that has been a stellar on the clay this year. Ben Shelton, Number 13 Seed, landed in Alakraj section and is a difficult opener against experienced Lorenzo Songo. Tommy Paul, who built semi in Rome, should get an interesting phase of 16 matches against two -time French finalist Casper Rood.
- Keep an eye on Naomi Osaka. Although his results are the best middle -to -the -old since coming back from birth, and Clay is not his best surface by any remedy, he recently won a minor league level title in St. Malo, France. If she can find the first round against number 10 seed Paula Badosa, which continues to struggle with injuries, the draw will actually open to make 16 runs or depth.
