The French Open, often called by the name of the stadium in which it is contested–Roland-Garros–is the second major tennis tournament of the year and the last tournament of the European “clay court” season. The French Open will be contested from May 21st (qualifiers) to June 10th. The First Round of the tournament started on Sunday, May 27th. Last year’s champions were Rafa Nadal (Men’s Singles Champion) and Jalena Ostepenko (Women’s Singles). Ryan Harrison and Michael Venus won the Men’s Doubles title and Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova won the Women’s Doubles Titles. Nadal is heavily favored to win the Men’s Singles Championship again (he has won the French Open 10 times); Nadal will face competition from Novak Djokovic, Alexander Sverek and Dominic Theim. Women’s favorite is Simona Halep, who has been a finalist twice but has yet to win the tournament. Returning in 2018 is Serena Williams, former World Number 1, and Maria Sharapova, who has won the tournament twice. Petra Kvitova and Elina Svitolina are among the pre-tournament favorites.
Key Events to Date
Venus Williams was knocked out of the tournament in early first round play.
Last year’s finalist Stan Wawrinka lost to Spain’s Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.
Novak Djovokic won his second round match.
Both Caroline Wozniaki and Petra Kvitova won their early matches.
Serena Williams has returned to the French after missing it last year, wearing a black catsuit. She went viral.
Dimitrov and Donaldson played one of the tournament’s best matches thus far. Dimitrov won in five sets.
Rafa Nadal is in action today (Day 5); Djokovic is through to the next round.

Today is National Speak In Complete Sentences Day, so put abbreviated conversations to the side for the next 24 hours.
It’s the last day for the May 2018 News Playlist, curated, as always, by The Nightshift’s music editor/DJ Miles Geauxbye and his pal Tschugge (from Switzerland). Just click the short link and, courtesy of Spotify, you’ve got a whole playlist of music to get through the news. And remember: Miles and Tschugge add to and delete songs from the playlist on an almost daily basis…so it’s not always the same list twice. Here’s the link for the May playlist: May Tunes
The front pages (and sometimes more) of the world’s great English language newspapers are linked below. The International Headlines are all at your fingertips, below. As always, thanks for dropping by. We have added the English language feed of Agence France-Presse to the news index along with the McClatchy DC News Bureau. Also new: the UPI international news feed and Xinhua, a newsfeed focusing on China, Asia, and the Pacific. And, finally, we have a link to OilPrices.com, which covers the world oil markets. Seems appropriate considering the dynamics of that most necessary commodity.
