ROLAND GARROS – No Canadians in action Thursday on the women’s side.

The spotlight matches are …. well, it’s hard to see one that stands out. But of course once they get on the court anything can develop.

The first women’s night-session match is also scheduled – it features Jelena Ostapenko vs. Frenchwoman Alizé Cornet. There was drama, also an upset (on paper).

Karolina Pliskova and Simona Halep also crashed out of the tournament, with Halep saying later she suffered from a panic attack.
