Tennis tournament or puppy heaven?
There were so many dogs at this edition of Roland Garros that the tournament installed doggie bag dispensers around the players’ lounge and 10 canines were given their own credential badges to wear around the grounds.
Glad the first women’s night match to be scheduled at the French Open since 2023 is between two players who will certainly be able to handle the pressure, at least. Another factor in the RG scheduling — any women you put on at night now have to live up to some weird high standard
