TENNIS 2025

[gaby]

2 great games.....IGA---RYBA and ZHENG---SAMSONOVA.....both SWIATEK and ZHENG won in 3 sets....thanks girls/good tennis .....IGA will play SVITO in quarters.....will b an easy one......not that easy for ZHENG qui va fort probablement jouer SABA.

Tomorrow.....COCO----PEGULA---KEYS play round/16.....they all should do it.

I watched some of the Alcaraz-Shelton match. Shelton went toe to toe with Alcaraz in the first set, and suffered a crushing tiebreaker loss. Shelton was serving 143 mph and showing tremendous power, but unfortunately his entire game is built on power and overwhelming the opponent with it. That wasn't going to happen against Alcaraz on this surface. Hopefully going forward, Shelton will add some wrinkles to his game, some better volleys and drop shots to use against the better players.

Alcaraz gets Tommy Paul next, after Paul beat Popyrin in straight sets.

MAJOR UPSET....LOIS BOISSON/french player ranked 361 just defeated PEGULA in 3 sets....wow...will play ANDREEVA in quarters....the crowd was crazy.

 

[gaby]

KEYS and COCO did much better....will play each other in quarters...interesting.

 

[gaby]

PAUL---ALCARAZ today....the one to watch...CARLOS will do it......and tomorrow KEYS---GAUFF.....a good fight à prévoir BUT COCO should prevail.

 

[gaby]

Both IGA and SABA won today....will see them in semis....ça promet....

 

[EagerBeaver]

This is Iga's tournament and surface. Very hard to beat her here.

 

[gaby]

Oh boy.....a walk in the park for CARLOS vs PAUL.....easy easy win 6-0/ 6-1/6-4....will play MUSETTI in semis....and for sure SINNER for the big one.....lolll......both are on fire.

 

[EagerBeaver]

Coco wins tough 3 setter over Keys! Looks like Andreeva is next!

 

[gaby]

NOPE....fairy tale for BOISSON continues....a win in 2 sets....so will play GAUFF.....easier for COCO than the one SABA---IGA....so it looks VERY good FOR COCO/ playing this prestigious FINAL.

 

[EagerBeaver]

She is the #361 ranked player but is suddenly getting very good results! Undoubtedly she fed off the home crowd as much as Andreeva was disturbed by the rooting for Boisson.

 

[gaby]

Yep.....it is her moment...BUT COCO va la ramener sur terre...lol....

 

[EagerBeaver]

Yep.....it is her moment...

The almost-impossible-to-believe story of Loïs Boisson at the French Open

Boisson is the first women's wild card to reach the French Open semifinals since the Open era began. Here's how she did it.

What a day....SABA ---IGA and COCO--BOISSON....SABA AND COCO will do it....enjoy.

And how about tomorrow SINNER---DJOKO ....the game to watch.

 

[gaby]

2 very competitive sets BUT the third was all SABA with a bagel.......and it looks like a walk in the park for COCO leading already 5-1 / first set.

 

[gaby]

COCO 6-1/6-2.....as expected......so it will b #1 vs # 2.....that's great......and #1 will win her first RGARROS.

 

[EagerBeaver]

COCO 6-1/6-2.....as expected......so it will b #1 vs # 2.....that's great......and #1 will win her first RGARROS.

You seem to forget what happened to Sabalenka the last time she met Coco in the final of a major tournament. Allow me to refresh your recollection:

 

[gaby]

WELL...preuve qu'elle a du caractère....she will demonstrate it tomorrow...enjoy.
