'Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter have done something special. They have written their names in history on the clay of northern France with an extraordinary victory.
A first win in France. They will enjoy this moment - they deserve to. Simply stunning!'
'Raducanu has been simply superb over the past two days.'
Can Emma be 'simply superb' for several successive matches and stay injury free?

Well done Katie and Emma. Fantastic wins.3

Great achievement to win on the French clay, Really good to see Emma fit and winning back to back games too.1

Raducanu beaten in Stuttgart by top seed Iga Swiatek following four wins in a row on clay. A competitive score: 7-6 6-3 with over two hours played.
Positive signs heading into the summer with Roland Garros and Wimbledon.4 -
When I saw Emma’s match against Karolina Pliskova tomorrow was cancelled I feared the worst. Turns out it’s Pliskova who’s had to pull out due to injury.
She gave an interview to Sky before the tournament gets under way in Madrid…

Amusing that the French Open organisers have had to ban drinking in the stands due to unruly behaviour considering
a) The more genteel image of tennis when compared to other sports
b) The image we have that the French are civilised drinkers when compared to the British and other northern Europeans!1 -
yeah no argument with the national stereotypes but come on, tennis on clay you need to be ratarsed, it's just soooo dullkillerandflash said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/articles/clwwgl4n8w0o

Not really been following the French open, but crazy that Djokovic's game didn't finish until 3:07 this morning. The Wimbledon curfew to keep the locals happy, seems pretty sensible, apart from anything else, imagine trying to get home from Wimbledon after midnight!0 -
Draper is now the British No1 after reaching the semis in Stuttgart. Evans and Norrie dropping down the rankings.

Draper through to the final at Stuttgart - hopefully will be his first title.2

Three British players in the Semis at Nottingham. Norrie and Evans both failed to make it.1

Up to 32 in the world after reaching the final. Good for his chances of getting a seed at the grand slams.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Draper is now the British No1 after reaching the semis in Stuttgart. Evans and Norrie dropping down the rankings.2 -
Jack Draper wins in Germany. Good to see an inner city kid work his way to this level with minimal funding/support.2
-
His first win on the tour.
Hopefully many more to follow1 -
Great win for Draper against Berrettini today in the ATP Mercedes Cup.
Let's hope he can avoid injury and stay fit for Wimbledon.1 -
Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter fighting it out in a semi final in Nottingham. 1 set all and 2-1 Boulter last I heard.1
-
Boulter won the third set 6-4.1

Broom playing Fearnley in the final at Nottingham - a massive boost in the rankings for whoever wins.
Fearnley outside the top 500 at the start of the tournament.0 -
Fearnley wins at Nottingham and rises up 250 places in the rankings to 274. Must deserve a wildcard at Wimbledon.

Southgate must be considering making changes. I'd consider Gordon for Foden who has been anonymous.1

Murray and Harris through the first round at Queens. Norrie and Evans both out.
Harris inside the top 150 for the first time.1 -
Draper through as well. Faces Alcaraz in the second round.1
-
Murray forced to retire after only 5 games of his second round match.
Not sure if his Wimbledon now hangs in the balance?0 -
Draper knocks out Alcaraz in straight sets at Queens. Looks like grass is his best surface.3

Brilliant win for Jack - first loss on grass for Alcaraz since 2022.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Draper knocks out Alcaraz in straight sets at Queens. Looks like grass is his best surface.
Only two others have ever beaten Alcaraz on grass: Sinner and Medvedev - both of whom have been or became world no. 1.
It’s time to get carried away. Draper is winning Wimbledon4 -
Harris also through to QF at Queens - well inside the top 150 in the rankings. Has a wildcard at Wimbledon.2
