While the men’s singles semifinals played out to decide the line-up for Sunday’s final at Roland Garros, we also got a couple of doubles finals teed up too.
The big story came with Jasmine Paolini and the fact her French Open will NOT end with Saturday’s singles final against Iga Swiatek. Oh no.
The Italian now also has the women’s doubles final to look forward to, after she and compatriot Sara Errani — the 11th seeds — beat Marta Kostyuk and Elena-Gabriela Ruse 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 to reach Sunday’s final.
There they will face fifth seeds, Coco Gauff and Katerina Siniakova.
As for the men’s doubles, the top seeds fell at the semifinal stage with Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos losing to ninth seeds, Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.
It’s the 11th seeds, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, who await in Saturday’s final.
