Doubles Take looks back at a wild week in Paris and what to expect as the tournament rolls on.
OK, raise your hands if you saw the top seeds in both the men’s and women’s doubles draws at Roland Garros going out before the second week started.
Or nod your head if you saw only one Top-5 men’s team making it through to the quarters.
Let’s just assume that there’s not a lot of positive affirmation out there.
The first week of the French Open was marked by upsets of near-epic proportions and as the tournament winds down, it really looks like it’s anyone’s ballgame.
On the men’s side, the first big shocker happened when the second seeds, Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares, dropped their opener in what was their last tournament together. They were among five seeded men’s teams to fall before the first day of play concluded.
