ROLAND GARROS – One of best and – let’s be real – most unexpectedly delightful and dramatic matches unfolded at Roland Garros at the end of the day on Wednesday.

It was the day that defending champion Iga Swiatek was one point away from losing, and the day that Naomi Osaka bloomed again as a premier competitor.

On the Canadian side, Leylah Fernandez wasn’t able to finish the first set and will try again Thursday.
