After Novak Djokovic capped a surreal week at Roland Garros with a triumphant victory in the latest finish to a French Open match, the action early on Sunday was starkly different.Serbian superstar walk off Court Philippe Chatrier at 3.08am on SundayLess than eight hours later his fellow world No. 1 Iga Swiatek walked onto the same court to begin the second week of the major and needed just 40 minutes to hand Anastasia Potapova a double-bagel – tennis slang for 6-0 6-0 – in a phenomenal display.
Scheduling is a tricky business given tennis matches have no fixed length, but that did not stop the criticism that flowed following the Djokovic drama. “I just finished my match two hours ago. After that I have to cool down on the bike for 15 minutes, do press/media, ice bath for 10 minutes, shower/eat and then get treatment/massage.”
“It is a complicated thing, but for the health and safety of the players, it would be in the sport’s best interest to avoid those matches starting after a certain time. Obviously, you can’t control when they finish.” “For me it’s much better to finish at 6pm, having dinner really, really well at … a good restaurant good food, so everything is better if you finish early. the night session is a real thing, so we can’t change it.”
The daughter of former Australian Olympian Loretta Harrop, Jones is the youngest player to win multiple J500 titles. Jones is playing doubles with Charlie Camus, who grew up in Canberra and won the junior male athlete award at the Newcombe Medal last year.
