On Monday we got the 2017 French Open quarterfinal line-up completed, as four fourth-round matches from the bottom half of the draw completed, defining quarterfinal pairs Simona Halep vs. Elina Svitolina and Caroline Garcia vs. Karolina Pliskova. The four players joined Sunday’s quarterfinal pairs from the upper part of the draw: Jelena Ostapenko vs. Caroline Wozniacki and Kristina Mladenovic vs. Timea Bacsinszky.
I apologize for posting this gallery later than promised and for it being quite small, as both my photographer Jimmie48‘s card reader and backup broke down! He could only save photos from the first two matches and a few shots of the legends.
