French Open Round of 32 on the women's side


Just checking to see how the women are doing in the French Open 2018.

Serena advanced in straight sets, Garcia is through, Mertens had an easy one, Kerber was through in two but both in tiebreakers, Halep demolished Petkovic in the second set (6-0) after a 7-5 first, and Sharapova also had an easy skate.

Now it should get more interesting.

19th seed Rybáriková did get knocked out, Muguruza easily handled Stosur, Sloane Stephens survived (love the alliteration) 8-6 in the third, and finally, No. 8 seed Kvitová was bounced from the tournament in another straight-set double-tiebreak match, losing to Kontaveit.

Now, you are asking, why don't I pay more attention to the men?

Well, for one thing, I'm always interested in how Halep is doing.  For two, the main news on the men's singles side of the French Open is who will attempt to defeat Rafael Nadal in the final, and we don't know that yet.

Of the guys still in it, I give Del Potro the best chance of being the other finalist.
