Paul McNamee overlooks world number one Swiatek for upcoming French Open

Former Australian tennis player Paul McNamee has snubbed the
world number one Iga Swiatek from the potential finalist list of the upcoming French
Open. The second Grand Slam of the year will begin on Sunday where players from
all over the world will participate to battle for the ultimate prize.
McNamee, who won four Grand Slams in his career in the
doubles category, in a post on his official account on the social media platform
X—previously known as Twitter—shared an interesting lineup of finalists for the
Roland Garros where he snubbed the reigning world number one Swiatek in favour
of world number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka and Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko. “With
Roland Garros about to start, on the beautiful terre battu in the heart of
Springtime in Paris, here are my finals matchups : Men’s: Djokovic v Alcaraz
Women’s: Ostapenko v Sabalenka. To all
players, play well, and may the best man/woman win. See you in Paris,” he wrote.
Swiatek is coming into the event as a strong favourite. She has been crowned champion thrice at Roland Garros and will defend her back-to-back titles this year. Swiatek has been in fabulous form in the 2024 season, having already lifted the Qatar Open, Indian Wells, Madrid Open, and Rome Open.

- Maybe Faurel can school Gilbert on European showers!!
mandoist25-06-2024 - hey Coco, since you insist on reading your comments, etc... please tell your Coach Gilbert to stop pissing & moaning about showers in Europe. Also, remind him bad dining experiences are universal. He's being The Ugly American when he generalizes about "all of Europe's bad hotels".mandoist25-06-2024
- Was recalling the past week. I no more need to see a trend where someone's girlfriend intrudes on the winner's court than I need to see Azarenka playing nursery with her kid on the court while they attempt to prep for the next match. Of course, part of that was Wolfgang feeling he somehow had a right to encourage and choreograph that display.mandoist25-06-2024

- It's been an ongoing issue for too long now. Even though it's not our business to know the details... it's worrisome; disconcerting even. "Gastrointestinal" covers many things. My concern, as an Ulcerative Colitis patient since 1976, is that she has some form of Colitis. I recognize reactions and symptoms. If so, perhaps knowing this others would be encouraged by her own courage in plowing forth while dealing. Anyway, pretty sure I wouldn't reveal details myself but at least give us a reason to feel better for Elena.mandoist25-06-2024
