The women’s singles tournament at the 2017 French Open has been a strange one. Top-seeded Angelique Kerber fell on the first day. Only three of the tournament’s top-eight seeds have reached the event’s quarterfinals. With No. 4 Garbine Muguruza unable to stick around into the tournament’s second week, there will be a new winner on clay for the women this weekend. Halep might be the favorite now, but it’s anyone’s guess about what could happen the rest of the way.
