Linette lost to Fernandez 

Despite Fernandez's terrible start to the clay court season (And season overall) Fernandez has shown she can contend for titles on this surface, going far at Roland Garros in 2022 beating the likes of Anisimova, Bencic, Siniakova. She lost in the quarterfinals to Trevisan in 3, but she got injured part way throughout the second set, Fernandez obviously deciding to keep playing, being the fighter that she is, so the fact that the she managed to win the second set is mind blowing. (By the way, if you're curious the scoreline was 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-3.

 

My point is, Linette was the favourite, but you would be pretty stupid to count out Fernandez.

I've never heard of his name before 

[LuizGuilherme 200]

He won some 250 in 2020 then disappeard because of some bad decisions.

 

He is the most gifted brazilian tennis player since Guga. He stills young and is in the best season of his life. He  has a potencial to be a top 30 or even more.

I missed that but Schmiedlová decided to dress in Ukrainian colors against Kudermetova. nice touch AKS

 

Now I understand why she suddenly miraculously won a match (motivation is a real powerful mental weapon)

 

 

Slovak tennis player Anna Karolína Schmiedlová dressed in Ukrainian colors at Rolland Garros and won the match against the representative of the evil empire. She subsequently also expressed her support for Ukraine on Instagram. Karolina , hats off!💙💛 https://t.co/oFe2dCAf8X

Shame on you 

He even has an ATP title where he beat Ruud in the final   I had high hopes back in 2020, but he just couldn't capitalize on it :/
