Having spent years having a very good idea who was going to be crowned the men's champion in Paris at Roland Garros, this year it was a role reversal with the women's competition seemingly a closed shop and the men's wide open. World No 1 Iga Swiatek came in as a heavy favourite as the two-time defending champion and winning both the lead-up events in Madrid and Rome, so you might wonder why when we were asked for predictions I looked elsewhere.
Disappointment for the Brits, all out of the singles before Round 2, speeding up the return to grass, but British success did come in the form of Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, who won their fifth consecutive Roland Garros wheelchair doubles title and 20th as a team. Reuben Harris was also part of the team to win the wheelchair boys doubles title, in the first year of the junior wheelchair competition at Roland Garros.
