The mens semi-finals were very dramatic yesterday. The first semi-final lasted 3 hours and not even two sets were played. Zverev sadly got a horrible injury which means Nadal is into another Roland Garros Final. Cilic and Ruud were the next match on and both were vying for their first Roland Garros Final. Cilic took the first set but Ruud fought back and took the next 3 sets to take the match in 4 sets.

The ladies final was played today and it was between number 1 in the world, Swiatek, and 18th seed, Gauff. Swiatek played a flawless first set to take it 6-1 and she took the 2nd set 6-3 to win her second Roland Garros title and extend her winning streak to 35 in a row.

Onto the fantasy league and ‘Seize the Clay’ tightens their grip on top spot with a lead of 17 points. ‘Drop Shots’ sit in 2nd with ‘General Grant’ just 1 point behind in 3rd. ‘Forever and a Clay’ drops 2 spots to 4th. ‘Another Try’ moves up 4 spots to 5th. The wooden spoon spot has been sealed. Congratulations to ‘Nuts 2 U’!!
