The Roland Garros has had some great matches which we all have been looking forward to in the season. The match that was filled with thrills in the tournament was between Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek. This is a game that went down to all three sets and both the players gave it their all to stay alive.  

It was eventually Iga Swiatek who got the win, but we also could not ignore the glimpses of brilliance from Naomi Osaka in the game. This was a great battle between two great players who played some of the best tennis in a round 2 game of the Roland Garros. This was a great match of tennis which we have witnessed.

Badosa answers back to Swiatek

After the game, the world number 1 addressed the crowd for misbehaving and calling during the rallies which she said was responsible for losing focus in the matches. This led many experts to give their opinions on this statement. Even former world number 2 Paula Badosa had some words to say about these statements from the Polish superstar saying, "I think she’s very lucky she can play all the time on Philippe Chatrier and she’s okay with that. “But I don’t mind. As I said, I played in small courts these days, and I was hearing so much noise.”

This was a statement contradicting Swiatek's remarks on the noise made by the crowd during the game and also further added that it is better to focus on the game rather than think about the noise between the rallies. Both these statements by the players have a fair point regarding the situation. It will be interesting to see if Officials feel that they have to take action on this matter or not in the long run. This will create a long debate for all the fans and the experts who will have long discussions on this matter.
