Really brief comments on the French Open

Halep rolling.  (Fourth round highlights)

Match of the tourney so far - Tsitsipas v Wawrinka, with Wawrinka prevailing.

(Of course, then he had to play Federer, and of course, Federer played better in two tiebreaks and took the match in 4 sets.)

USA teen Anisimova gets into the quarterfinals - against Halep. 

5 of the last 8 women are/were English-as-a-first-language speakers. That's unusual.

Surprise on the women's side:  unseeded Vondrousova defeated the 12th seed and then the 31st seed to get into the semis.  But her next opponent, Konta, still only seeded 26th, spanked 7th seed Sloane Stephens soundly, 6-1, 6-4.

Nadal is brutal to opponents on clay:  6-2, 6-3, 6-3 in the fourth round, and then 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 in the quarters against Nishikori, who's a pretty decent player.   The other two quarterfinals on the men's side might end up being competitive matches.

So it's Nadal vs. Fed in the semi-finals;  not something that Roger looks forward to, I imagine.
