Day 7 of the 2014 French Open is complete but the third round is not! On the women's side the final 16 is set, with some surprising omissions, such as
Agnieska Radwanska[3], Petra Kvitova[5] and
Ana Ivanovic[11]. That leaves the top seed in the tournament is
Simona Halep[4] and only half of the top 10 seeds left standing. The match of the day was
2009 Champion Svetlana Kuznetsova's win over Kvitova
6-7(3) 6-1 9-7 despite being down a break three times in the deciding set.
2012 Champion Maria Sharapova[7] is now the highest seed in her draw and she faces
the bitch she owns 13-2 Samantha Stosur for a place in the quarterfinals. The Russian seems destined for
a 3rd consecutive final in Paris.
On the men's side
Andy Murray is stuck at 7-all in the 5th against
Philipp Kohlschreiber after blowing a 3-0 4th set lead and failing to close out the match. The winner of that match will face the winner of
Richard Gasquet-Fernando Verdasco, which was suspended with the Spaniard up 2 sets and even at 2-all in the 3rd. The men's draw looks on course for a men's final between
Rafael Nadal and
Novak Djokovic although the two both have tough tests in
David Ferrer for Rafa and
Jo-Wilfried Tsona and
Milos Raonic for Nole.
