End of the French: One unexpectation and one expectation
Just one I think Simona Halep is rolling, she gets ousted by an American teenager named Anisimova (but I did say to keep on eye on her, didn't I?) So all the women's semi-finalists had not won a Grand Slam title before, and the last one standing was Aussie Ashleigh Barty, who demolished Markéta Vondroušová 6-1, 6-3. That was unexpected (hence my subject line).
I barely even pay attention to the men's side in the French, because the expectation has been for the past more-than-a-decade that Rafael Nadal will win it. And he did, for the 12th time, though this time he let Dominic Thiem see what it feels like to win a set.
On to the grass of July.
