Tennis: French Open 2025

Shelton is putting up a pretty good fight despite losing the first two sets. Quality tennis match, for sure.
 
Going to fourth set. This could get complicated for Carlos awfully quick. Shelton looks much more comfortable on clay than he did in the past, and the one thing we know for sure about him is that because of his athleticism, fitness and temperament, he is ideally suited to the five-set format.
 
Shelton looked good, Alcaraz is just too on form and when's he in that shape, only a couple players can hope to beat him

Shelton should feel really good about that loss. Had he won that incredible breaker in the first set, things might have been different. But, credit to Carlos, he is beginning to play less impulsive, really smart tennis on clutch points and that gave him the edge that he needed today.

Musetti with a very impressive win over Rune in four sets. Lorenzo made a real leap in the past year from a really good player but one, like Rublev, that I didn't expect to get past the quarterfinals to a player capable seemingly of moving into tier one territory or very close to it. Pretty much every aspect of his game now carries a weight and authority that it lacked a year ago.

Zut alors! You have a positive genius for understatement.

Not any "Frenchwoman," but one ranked #361 in the world, making this the biggest upset in women's tennis since...maybe ever. Boisson's final service hold at 5-4 in the third set lasted two and a half hours and she saved 500 break points. Okay, it just seemed like that...I think in was four or five break points. Absolutely amazing stuff.

to be fair it's on Korean TV at work
 
Keys ekes out a win over Baptiste in straight sets. Madison looked pretty shaky closing this out. She shows the kind of nerves that I associate with the old Madison where she gets tight, stops following through, and is her own worst enemy. Don't like her chances moving forward against Gauff, though, Coco's game can get dicey under pressure, too.
 
Alexander Bublik, responding to a question about being different: "I'm super normal, the other players make me feel different." Gotta love this guy.
