<p> Updates from Tuesday’s quarter-final matches in Paris<br> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jun/01/sabalenka-powers-past-osaka-in-first-womens-night-match-in-paris-since-2023">Sabalenka outguns Osaka</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@guardian_sport">Follow on TikTok</a> | <a href="mailto:daniel.harris.casual@theguardian.com">Mail Daniel</a></p><p><strong>If Cirstea can keep holding, the set’ll come down to a few points here and there, but up 40-15 she invites pressure by going long on the forehand …</strong> then closes out the game with a serve out wide and clean-up swing-volley. Andreeva leads 6-0 1-2.</p><p><strong>This is, of course, a sad day for all ADHD-types – </strong>no longer can our eyes dart around three or four screens, various matches compartmentalised into various parts of brain, while merging into one in another. But what an opportunity to hyper-focus and fully immerse into what we hope will be a succession of epics … in which regard Cirstea has closed from 40-0 to 40-30 with the help of a lovely backhand winner and a double, then Andreeva goes long and do we got ourselves a ball-game? Er, well a forehand winner is followed by an ace – the umpire has to check the mark as both players thought it was wide – and we’re level at 1-1 in set two.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2026/jun/02/french-open-2026-quarter-finals-andreeva-cirstea-svitolina-kostyuk-jodar-zverev-live">Continue reading...</a>
