On Thursday we had two WTA semifinals on the Philippe Chatrier Court at Roland Garros, the one in which young phenomenon Jelena Ostapenko defeated fellow birthday girl Timea Bacsinszky and the one in which Simona Halep beat Karolina Pliskova, placing herself just a match away from her first Grand Slam title and the No.1 ranking.
In-between the big semifinals, we saw Ana Ivanovic at the French Open again, albeit for a ceremony honoring the 2008 champion’s tennis career. The retired tennis star was glowing! She must be enjoying her new life!
