In the wake of French player Fiona Ferro’s sexual assault allegations against her former coach, Azarenka has called on the WTA Tour to improve safeguarding measures for vulnerable players.

Fiona Ferro, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 39 last year, has accused her former coach of rape and sexual assault.

The two-time WTA champion has accused Pierre Bouteyre of committing the acts between 2012-15 when she was a teenager.

Fans in Chatrier will have a chance to show their appreciation Tuesday for the 2008 Australian Open runner-up, when he plays what could be the final match of his career.

At the Lyon Open Saturday, Danish teenager Clara Tauson eased past seventh seed Paula Badosa, 7-5, 6-1, before Swiss Viktorija Golubic ousted second-seeded Fiona Ferro, 4-6, 6-0, 7-6 (4).

The 2020 Australian Open champion had never been to a tour-level quarterfinal on clay—she's finally done it, and at the biggest clay event.

Is the 23-year-old Frenchwoman poised for an upset? Ferro rides an eight-match win streak into her fourth-round encounter with the 2020 Australian Open champ.

Of the 16 singles matches on Saturday's schedule at Roland Garros, just three featured the seeds projected to meet in the third round.

In their third-round encounter, the Romanian fought the French, and the Frenchwoman won.

The No. 1-ranked Serb has never lost to a lucky loser at tour-level, not just at majors. He plays one today for a spot in the second week.
