French Open

18 year old American Coco Gauff has made it to the finals.
No doubt world #1 Iga Swiatek is the favorite, but did you know that Coco has not lost a set on her way to the final. Go Coco!

Oh and Happy 36th birthday Rafa - hope your present is a place in Sunday’s final.

Let’s go, Coco!

Wait for the Zverev meltdown😀

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. That was a whole match in one set.

Great tennis!

[spanone]

11. Unbelievable.

[malaise]

20. That was quite a prescient comment

Given that they never finished two sets- hate injuries like that but I love me some Rafa.
The good guy won.

12. Spoiler

Zverev just destroyed his ankle - this could be career ending- screamed in pain.
This is over.

15. Horrific.

6. Coco is all about her business this tourney.

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. She came to Paris well prepared.

I love to see it.

Ms. Coco has been working hard to get ready, and it shows.

13. I'm sad that Maria Sakkari had such a quick exit

Her and Naomi Osaka are my favorites.

18. I am very worried about the way she has bulked up

and it hasn’t helped her game.

14. Zverev out with the bum ankle. Good. Boy, he played that for all the drama he could get.

I can't stand that guy.

Go Rafa!

[malaise]

16. Not fair

I am no fan of Zverev, but that was a horrific injury - watch the replay. Did you watch him screaming in pain.

[BlackSkimmer]

21. We'll have to disagree. He's a chump.

I broke my shoulder so badly it had to be bolted and wired together, 19 bolts. Bone grafts. My knee was shattered when I was 16; I was actually scheduled to play in the semis of a tennis tournament the next day. Kept asking would I be able to play.

I didn't cry like a little baby when either happened or even after the surgeries when it REALLY hurt. I've broken my ankle too, and the pain doesn't compare to a shoulder or a knee.

The guy has been accused of domestic violence, attacks umpires, and is generally a jerk.

My opinion, of course. You're welcome to feel sorry for the poor wee fella.

22. I feel bad he got hurt, glad Rafa will be in the finals.......and I agree he's a jerk.

[BlackSkimmer]

23. I know Rafa didn't want to win that way, but I'm thrilled he's advancing too!

Rafa is a true giant of the the sport. Always good sportsmanship, always a gentleman, never a bad word to say about anyone.

24. I know, have really gotten to like him more then I used to.....he is a good man.

[tishaLA]

17. Horrible injury, much as I dislike him

And the match had been epic until then.

[malaise]

19. Agree
