Weeks 22 & 23 - French Open (Roland-Garros) - Paris, France (clay) - doubles

Essentially a place-holder, but also to put Jamie Murray's criticism of the FO (reduced prize money - 23% in the doubles - & hotel for the doubles players "an absolute toilet") in the right place.  Not sure I understand the FFT's comment, when it announced the prize money, that "Roland-Garros is the only Grand Slam tournament to have been affected by the health crisis for the second year running". What about Wimbledon & the USO?

Absolutely amazing physicality (strength, with lightness on his feet too) of young half-Brit, Evan Furness, ATP 329, with a wildcard, who has just put out Kudla and made the FQR.
