Ten highlights from 2023 French Open
The French Open ended on Sunday with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek crowned champions after two weeks that featured geopolitics, controversies over sportsmanship as well as marathon matches.The first match on Roland Garros’s showpiece Court Philippe Chatrier saw Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk suffer a deluge of boos after she refused to shake the hand of Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka after her straight-sets defeat.
“Kosovo is our cradle, our stronghold, centre of the most important things for our country,” 36-year-old Belgrade-born Djokovic said. Altmaier, the world number 79, twice staved off match points late in the fourth set before eventually prevailing 6-7 , 7-6 , 1-6, 7-6 , 7-5 on Court Suzanne Lenglen on his fifth match point.Taylor Fritz defeated Arthur Rinderknech, the last French player in the tournament, and celebrated by placing his finger to his lips as the majority of fans on Court Suzanne Lenglen roundly jeered him.
“It has been challenging in the last few days after my unjust disqualification from the women’s doubles,” Kato said after she and her partner Tim Puetz defeated Bianca Andreescu and Michael Venus in the final. “When I was hitting the ball, I just ran for it. I saw it after the next point on the TV, and I saw it was a double bounce,” said Rune.
