RG Day 6
Day 6 recap is here!
It’s day 6 (and Medvedev is into the 2nd week of RG!)
Shot of the day
insane shot by Iga Swiatek
Nadal / Gasquet
Looking through the H2H, the last time Gasquet took a *set* off Nadal was in the Toronto QFs 13 years ago. Nadal has won their subsequent 11 matches in straight sets.

from the statue to the man
Serena / Collins
It is the second time i've seen Collins shank into the ground
Collins yells "That's excellent" after this
Wait for it - the TV Director is onto something
Nice hug :)
A little shimmy - Rena fans will find it reusable
Pavlyuchenkova / Sabalenka
The summary of this match is basically this stat. Pavs did a good job of taking the ball early and rushing Sabalenka whenever she had the chance.
Frustration with the UEs
world class volley by Pavs
kamaaan
great forehand
happy Pavs
Azarenka
Vika goes "Whew" after Madi missed an easy shot
Vika reveals she is learning two languages at the same time
ADF / Ruud
The first two gifs when things were relatively calm.
Fokina
Fokina with an underarm serve down a BP while serving for the match; you can see the sheer panic in Ruud’s face.
The eternal question: did ADF fall today ? Well, almost.
Ruud definitely fell (all in the final game of the match)
Miri Bley said "Back off. I'm explaining"
Zidansek
-Mima Jaušovec
-Katarina Srebotnik
-Tamara Zidanšek
The list of all 🇸🇮 making R16 at Slams (Jaušovec competed for Yugoslavia though)
#RolandGarros
Serena shoes
“je ne m'arrêterai jamais”, I will never stop. “You can be whatever size you are… and you can be beautiful inside & out.”
“Never stop fighting.” “Come on”
Kasatkina / Cirstea
Cirstea completely controlled the match with her aggression.
Vondrousova / Hercog
gorgeous lob
who doesn't enjoy a moonball rally
Vondrousova is the only 2019 SFist who is still in the draw.
how many mics?
Garín
No dramatic 5 setters and luckily for the Chilean fans they could watch the match until its conclusion. Sadly for us, there were no great gifs like this one from his previous match.
Badosa / Bogdan
If you have time watch this match from 3-3 in the 2nd set. Great quality. (Also, I do not know how to sum that up with gifs only. )
it was tense
Nice moments
Tsonga finally got the reception he deserved after a doubles match.
He says he wants to play in 2022 anyway though.
Tsonga was asked about the debacle of French tennis at this year's RG
• More positiveness needed as young players can find it hard transitioning from juniors to pros
• Though he's running a private structure, he's eager to help through FFT
• Hopes to play RG in 2022 (hooray!) https://t.co/k3dY2uFFZJ
The umpire with a cheat sheet for the curfew announcements. (Thanks, Ang)
no comment
not even the first time this week..
Punching the racquet with an already injured finger; gets MTO
Congrats to PSG feminine for clinching the title. They did scare everyone with the fireworks. (The stadium is right next to RG)
⚡️Russian tennis player Yana Sizikova, 26, was arrested on Thursday in the middle of Roland-Garros tournament.
She's suspected of having deliberately lost a game in the context of rigged bets.
