Azarenka, Keys arrive in Paris ahead of Roland Garros

With Roland Garros less than a week away, several players have already touched down in Paris with former semi-finalists Victoria Azarenka and Madison Keys among the first to begin their practice sessions.

Former World No.1 Azarenka enjoyed a brief hit on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Monday, as the 2013 Roland Garros semifinalist hoped to improve on the form that saw her reach the third round in Rome last week. The two-time Grand Slam champion reached the fourth round on Parisian clay 12 months ago and owns a 26-14 win-loss record at the tournament.

2018 semifinalist Keys also took to the iconic court for a hit on Monday, as she hopes to rediscover the form that saw her lift the title in Adelaide and reach the Australian Open semifinals earlier this year.

The second Grand Slam of the month runs from May 22-June 5, 2022.
