While there has never been a women's match scheduled for the night session at Roland-Garros, Aryna Sabalenka spoke out about this after securing her spot in the semifinals by defeating Qinwen Zheng.

"I have to say we deserve equal treatment. There have been many battles, many high-quality matches that deserve to be seen in the night session so more fans can attend and witness these incredible battles.

It deserves more people. We deserve to be more in the spotlight, with better scheduling in terms of timing, and more fans watching the matches."

Sabalenka had opened the action on Court Philippe Chatrier at 11 a.m., a time when the stands were still relatively empty. A questionable choice for a match featuring the world No. 1.

I think introducing transgenders and LGBTQ+ etc in women sports/tennis is the best solution for feminist activism everywhere. Once biological men take charge of women's tennis, we can have matches scheduled any which way feminists want.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
