PARIS - As unusual names pepper the French Open women’s singles draw in week two, former champion Chris Evert says expect the unexpected.
With both top seeds - Naomi Osaka and Karolina Pliskova - already bounced, the American says a lack of fear among the quarter-finalists means nothing can be predicted with any certainty. “The women’s draw is confused, there are upsets after upset, the top two seeds have lost. It’s really up for grabs and it’s very interesting.”
“There is so much fearlessness with the younger women, there’s no intimidation when they play a number one in the world or on a stadium court with thousands of people watching,” she said.
