There's a reason why Sabalenka doesn't have more Slams, and this match proves it. As world no.1, you should be able to adapt to windy conditions, especially having in mind that she experienced the same last year
Mensik d. Rublev 6-3 7-6 4-6 2-6 6-3 at Roland Garros
Jakub reaches the QF of a Slam for the first time
Another tough 5 setter to close this one out after leading 2 sets to 0
Still only 20 years old... he's somehow flying under the radar
Don't take your eyes off of him.

Bottom half of man's draw is actually quite strong, and also featured some really good matches. Top half is the only one that collapsed. Shame for some of the guys in the bottom half who could've easily made the final if they were in that part of the draw
Sabalenka is a great tennis player, but she's just not good at problem-solving in real time in big matches, which is why she lost so many important matches at Slams. Congrats to Rybakina, she played great today & was much better on big points. Well-deserved GS title no. 2 ๐๐ป
