ROLAND GARROS – Will this be the day the doubles really gets going?

It was grey on this Sunday morning. But it was dry. And then the sun sort of came out.

Cana-Kiwi team Fernandez and Routliffe only got … three games in before their day ended Saturday and wrapped it up in three sets on Sunday. And then Routliffe began her mixed doubles quest with Kiwi Michael Venus with a victory.

Vera Zvonareva is ALIVE!! Both in doubles and mixed.

The junior event began on Sunday, too.

The second LOOOOOOOOVE mixed doubles was on the schedule. But the Czech love doves Machac and Siniakova are out, just like longtime French amours Ugo Humbert and Tessah Andrianjafitrimo.
