ROLAND GARROS – It’s not the more compelling half of the women’s draw (and all of the upsets didn’t help).

Still, plenty to choose from as the women begin the third round of singles.

Watch out for hard-hitting and rising American Peyton Stearns against the clay craft of Daria Kasatkina as a nice contrast match.
