ROLAND GARROS – Can anyone beat Iga Swiatek?

Naomi Osaka came within a hair’s breadth of doing it in the second round. Since then, it’s been steamroll city.

The Italian upstart Jasmine Paolini – at 28, new to all this – did her best to try. She got three games.

As well, the men’s doubles final, a surprise of sorts between the No. 9 and No. 11 seeded teams.

And the girls’ and boys’ finals.
