2022 French Open men's doubles semifinals

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

It will be (12) M Arevalo/J Roger vs (16) M MIddelkoop/R Bopanna in one semifinal; and (4) M Granollers/H Zeballos vs A Krajicek/I Dodig in the other semifinal.

I am rooting for Granollers and Zeballos to win this French Open title!

Rojer and Arevelo beat Middelkoop and Bopanna to make the final!

Another slam final for Rojer, I wasn't expecting that anymore.

I do wonder why doubles is starting to look increasingly like the discipline for oldies.....I know it's much less taxing on the body and therefore can be done until relatively old age, but still.

I guess it's because players in the early-mid twenties try their darndest to still succeed as a singles player and don't play doubles as much as they used to back in the day.

Also, Koolhof/Shibahara wo the mixed doubles title this morning. First slam win for both!

Pretty decent crowd size too, which was nice to see
