French Open 2018 Women's Quarter-Finals
The French Open Quarter Finals (Women's Singles) Are Looking Pretty Interesting.
Wozniacki fell to 14th-seed Kasatkina, who now will play Sloane Stephens. That takes out one of Halep's primary remaining obstacles. Madison Keys had a pretty easy time, and next faces unseeded Putintseva. I'd give the edge to Keys there, but on clay courts, sometimes what you expect to happen doesn't happen. Great wisdom there.
As you may have heard, Serena Williams couldn't continue in the tournament because of an injury, so Sharapova moves into the quarters against 3-seed Muguruza. That will NOT be easy for Sharapova.
And finally, Halep raced past Mertens 6-2, 6-1, setting up the next match with Kerber (12th seed), who had almost as easy a time against 7th-seed Garcia, 6-2, 6-3. That one could be very competitive.
It's one of those weird things about tennis. On one side of the draw, there's an unseeded player, and the seeds remaining are 10, 13, and 14. But on Halep's side of the draw, she's playing Kerber, who's very good even if her ranking has dropped a little, and Muguruza (provided she defeats Sharapova) next.
Should be fun.
