A foot injury kept her off the court for most of the clay season

Yup. She played one previous clay match and lost it, with the foot injury already active.
SO yet again bummed about this. Hoping this can heal up pre-Wimbledon for Petra. (Ha, ha.)

They opted to put Sinner's match on Chatrier to close out the session. I caught the end of the third set and one of the comms made a comment about fans feeling they didn't get their money's worth with that match with Sinner winning it 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 against a Frenchman named Alexandre Muller.
Carlitos played to an almost overflow crowd on Lenglen earlier. They seem to be putting a French player on Chatrier to close things out though. Monfils plays tomorrow night.

Kudermetova lost to Schmiedlova in straights 3 & 1? Again AK Schmiedlova isn't one of those players opponents quake in their sneakers about but 6-1 in the second?

Well, you have only one match per night session, your chances, in the first three rounds, of having a dud like this are high.
I know they are only doing it for the money, but this was really not needed at RG. A full day of tennis is already good enough.

....Meanwhile, Seyboth Mild had been up a set and two set points in the 2nd set tiebreaker- only for Mild to flutter down in flames- from Medvedev getting all the (tennis) balls- in play to lose the second set, and now the third set. I liked the world a lot better when Medvedev played miserable clay tennis. Just someone- stop him already. (....AND now Mild HAS going up a break in the 4th. So.....)
Nice to see Coco get her s**t enough together to win today's match. Interestingly enough, even with her (for now) losing her final points from last year- she's only dropped from #6 to #9 in the live rankings. With the assist of the other "top" WTA players underperforming.

LOL, I put this in the wrong thread.
Nevertheless- talk about a happy ending!!
