The glory is what makes players be even more motivated when they are playing a Grand Slam. This tournament is special because the French Open is the only one that’s played on clay. However, the champions will also receive a lot of money.
There wasn’t a surprise in the first half of the women’s draw. Iga Swiatek is the defending champion, and she reached the final without losing a single set. But on the other side of the net she will have Karolina Muchova, who comes from eliminating N°2 seeded Aryna Sabalenka.
