Keeping up with the game of tennis, by the numbers. Here’s some crazy numbers regarding tomorrow’s women’s semifinals at Roland Garros.
3-12
The combined record of this year’s semi-finalists at Roland Garros prior to this year. Remarkable. Only two of this year’s semi-finalists had ever recorded a main draw win at Paris prior to this season (Barty and Vondrousova).
1997
With her win Anisimova becomes the youngest American to reach the semi-finals at a Grand Slam since Venus Williams at the 1997 U.S. Open.
10-0
There are two teenagers in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time since 2009, and the first time at Roland Garros since 2001. And neither of them have dropped a set!
26-5
Marketa Vondrousova’s record since the end of this year’s Australian Open. The 19-year-old Czech will face Johanna Konta for a spot in the final on Friday in Paris.
2000
Amanda Anisimova is the first player born in the 2000s to reach a Grand Slam semi-final.
0-4
Johanna Konta’s lifetime record at Roland Garros prior to 2019. The British No.1 has found her groove on the clay this season.
1
We will have a first-time Grand Slam winner in Paris, and Johanna Konta is the only player of the four semi-finalists that has been to the semi-finals at a major before. So we are also assured of a final featuring two first-time Grand Slam finalists…
1990
Anisimova is the youngest American woman to reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros since 1990 (Jennifer Capriati).
