SEC in the French Open

This year's French Open was pushed to the Fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event is in the final stretch and has seen several former SEC student-athletes in the main draw.

Alabama's Alexa Guarachi combined with Desirae Krawczyk to defeat Iga Swiatek and Nicole Melichar in the semifinals at Roland Garros Stadium today. Guarachi is making her first appearance in a Grand Slam final and will face the duo of Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic.

Auburn's Andreas Mies, the defending men's doubles French Open champion, is into the finals after defeating Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic. Mies and partner, Kevin Krawietz won the 2019 French Open doubles title as unseeded players, in their first appearance at the tournament.
