–

ROLAND GARROS – The clay season is over (although some clay events remain) as the tennis focus turns to the grass.

There were already smaller grass events last week. But the ATP and WTA Tours begin in earnest this week in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, et al.

Genie Bouchard had been entered this week, but she has withdrawn as has Félix Auger-Aliassime, who was dealing with a host of issues through the end of the clay-court season.

Is Milos Raonic really back? He met Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round of ‘s-Hertogenbosch – and won in straight sets. But the return ended against Jordan Thompson Thursday as he had his serve broken a few times in the second set, notably – after having every opportunity to win the first, and letting it slip away.

And it’s clear that school is out, because a whole group of new players have joined the circus for the summer season.
