French Open 2019, women's singles round-up: Naomi Osaka's bid for third straight Grand Slam title ends; Simona Halep through to fourth round

Naomi Osaka’s bid for third straight Grand Slam derailed Naomi Osaka’s attempt at a third straight Grand Slam title is over. [caption id=“attachment_6740481” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] ![Japan's Naomi Osaka reacts after missing a point and losing the first set during her third round match against Katerina Siniakova at the French Open.

AP[/caption] The top-ranked player struggled throughout a 6-4, 6-2 loss to Katerina Siniakova in the third round of the French Open. Siniakova is ranked No. 1 in doubles and No. 42 in singles. The loss ends Osaka’s run of 16 straight wins in Grand Slam tournaments — which included titles at the US Open and Australian Open. Simona Halep storms into the fourth round A ruthlessly efficient Simona Halep marched into the fourth round of the French Open on Saturday, dropping just three games against Lesia Tsurenko. Halep, the defending champion from Romania, had been forced to go the distance in the first two rounds. Playing her best match of the tournament, she had no trouble against an error-strewn Tsurenko, winning 6-2, 6-1 in just 55 minutes to extend her win streak against the No. 27 seed from Ukraine to 8-0. [caption id=“attachment_6740501” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] ![Romania's Simona Halep celebrates after winning her third round match against Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Simona-Halep-825by500-Reuters.jpg) Romania’s Simona Halep celebrates after winning her third round match against Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko. Reuters[/caption] After a relatively cool start to the first week of the French Open, temperatures are expected to soar to as high as 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) at the end of the afternoon at Roland Garros in Paris. Taking advantage of the balls kicking up higher on the clay of the main Court Philippe-Chatrier, Halep took the first set in just 28 minutes as she dominated her opponent from the back of the court. Tsurenko, who had won her previous match 11-9 in the decider against Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic playing with a broken racket, requested a medical timeout as she trailed 3-0 in the second set. Watched by Romanian billionaire Ion Tiriac, Halep’s intensity never dropped, as she took a 4-0 lead with aggressive shot-making. Serving for the match at 5-0, Halep got broken, but booked a spot in the fourth round in the next game with a volley, her ninth winner. She made 14 errors, while Tsurenko had just 8 winners and made 32 unforced errors. “It was a tough match even if the scoreline does not show it. Every day in my life I have that image of me winning last year in my mind, it was my greatest moment of my career and it was all the more satisfying for having won here in the juniors as well,” Halep said. _Click here to read the latest updates from the men's singles round-up._ With inputs from Agencies.
