As weather shifts from sunny to cloudy and humid conditions at Roland Garros, players are experiencing significant challenges. The changing conditions are making tennis balls "bigger" and more difficult to handle, according to players like Pablo Carreño who was eliminated by Rafael Jódar. Carreño had previously stated his preference for sunny weather, noting the current conditions make the balls heavier and more challenging to play.
The unpredictable weather has contributed to major upsets in the tournament, with reigning champions like Novak Djokovic and rising star Jannik Sinner both being eliminated. In contrast, four-time champion Iga Swiatek continues to advance through the tournament as the highly unpredictable Roland Garros continues to deliver surprises. xsportfeed.quest
