Also worth noting it's very likely Andy-Novak will surpass Roger-Rafa as the all-time most common Grand Slam final. Roger-Rafa happened 8 times and Andy-Novak is now at 7 (Novak-Rafa also at 7).

For the first time in history, there will be a Canadian in each of the boys’ semifinals at ROLAND-GARROS. Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov

Felix has advanced to the Boys Final, and Denis has won the first set of his match.

That was a quality tennis match - Only thing Muguruza needs to clean up are the double faults.

Definitely. Capturing her first Major at 22 is a feat and work on things like that means the sky is the limit.

I don't think the Serena era is over by any means, but it's nice to have a bit of a change. My stance on Serena is softening, though. I saw a piece she did with the DudePerfect guys about two weeks ago, doing trick shots and whatnot. She really came across as humble and very likeable. Like any athlete, she's grown up.

Agreed, I think that incident at the US Open several years ago where she threatened that linesperson was a big turning point for Serena. I think she has matured a great deal from that incident and the way she handled that press conference at Indian Wells earlier this year regarding Ray Moore's comments about the WTA was very classy.

Heartbreak for Felix as he had multiple match points but loses 8-6 in the final set.

A tough one for sure. Some pretty impressive tennis from a 15 year old though.

Djokovic drops the first set, seemingly using it as a warm up. Then grabs the next two 6-1, 6-2. What a talent.

Congrats to Novak Djokovic on winning his first French Open and completing the Novak slam.
