Paris: The French Open Women’s Tournament continues for the first time, without a clear favorite, this weekend, for the first time in many years, with a flag of players in a strong form and IGA Swetack tolerated an unprecedented barrier.
Jasmine Paulini became the eighth different players to reach the final of the WTA 1000 in last week’s Italian Open, before defeating Coco Goff the biggest title of your career. Irina Sabalika has strengthened her position as the world’s first place in the final of the final of the final of the final of any tour in the last five years.
Saballanka shortly after the amazing Australian Open Final defeat to Madison Keys before bounced back with Miami and Madrid’s Open titles.
He told the WTA, “I was really hungry and angry – angry in a good way and I think finally, the final of the Australian Open forced me to work even harder.” “(This) explained to me that you have to work hard in the final and you have to earn your victories. It was a good push for me.”
However, Belarusian has also shown signs of delicacy and Zheng Convener killed him well in the Rome quarter -finals. Three times the Grand Slam champion never reached the Roland Garros final and can face Sweet in the last eight.
She was out of the French Open at this stage last year when she won a set lead to defeat Mirra Andrew. In Madrid and Rome, Gauf’s first last hearing has helped him return to the highest ranking of World No. 2, giving him the second Beijing for Paris.
The 21 -year -old, who is a former Roland Gerros Runner -up, has been waiting for his first title since last year’s WTA final. “Hopefully I will go to the final in Roland Garros and maybe ‘for the third time Lucky’ is a real thing,” Gauf said after losing the powder in Rome.
Jessica Pigola has also contested the third ranking of her career -best rank, but has once passed through the third round of the French Open. Last year, the finalist, Pulinini, the fourth seed, will be confident after sealing the biggest trophy of his career in front of his home fans at the Italian Open.
In this season, several young players have made their identity on the WTA Tour, led by Russian teenager Andrew. She became the youngest champion of the WTA 1000 title in Dubai in February, before it supported her with even more impressive victory in Indian Wells.
Now, 18 years, Andrew is undoubtedly one of the favorite in the French capital because it is aimed at becoming the youngest Grand Slam singles champion, since compatriot Maria Sharapova won the 2004 Wimbledon.
World No. Six has proven its potential on the soil, which reached the Roland Gerros semi -finals last year and there are quarters in both Madrid and Rome this season. Andrewa’s 21 -year -old Russian Diana Schneider is with the help of the world’s top 10 and is another that can upset big names.
The 22 -year -old China’s Zheng will hope to create a copy of the form that he had taken to the Olympic gold in Roland Garros last summer and has been ranked eighth. Advanced stars may also be hoping to avoid the unhealthy teenager Alexandra Ella in the draw after a progress campaign, which has helped the 19 -year -old to become the first Filipino to reach the top 100.
The ELA defeated both Keys and Swetack while going to the Miami Open semi -finals and again pushed the switch in Madrid in a three -set loss. If the sweat, called ‘the Queen of the Clay’, fails to re -discover its high shape, for the first time since the win of Barbura Krajikova in 2021, the trophy will be a new name.
