    One of the challenges of playing Sharapova is she's absolutely devastating on short second serves - she comes in ruthlessly and fires them past you - but Muguruza passed the test well there.

    You wonder how Sharapova will have coped with that sudden withdrawal of Serena Williams. You assume she went out and hit balls for a couple of hours - but she's not played a match for four days now.

    'A King's Feast' is the headline of Roland Garros' daily paper today.

    The fella in the top left corner is certainly the 'King of Clay', while his Spanish compatriot on the right is aiming to become the 'Queen of Clay' over the next few years.
