FINAL: Simona Halep has won the women’s singles title at the French Open, besting Sloane Stephens in a three-set final. It’s Halep’s first ever Grand Slam win, and you can find all you need to know about the tournament, including results, below.
Serena Williams has missed the last four Grand Slams, but she’s set to compete for title at the French Open, which gets underway on Sunday. Williams won the Australian Open before taking an extended break from tennis for the birth of her child.
She returned to the WTA Tour this year, winning two of four matches, none of which were on the clay surface that makes up the courts at Roland Garros. She is unseeded due to her absence, and the field of competitors is incredibly strong, as usual. Without tune-up matches on the surface, it’s hard to imagine Williams earning her 24th Grand Slam title this time around.
But the women’s field is as unpredictable and exciting as ever. Since Williams won in Australia, four different women have won the past four slams — Jelena Ostapenko, Garbine Muguruza, Sloane Stephens and Caroline Wozniacki.
Simona Halep is the top-seeded woman, and she’s still searching for her first ever Grand Slam win. Elina
