Top seeds Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova clinched the women's doubles title in the French Open tennis championships on Sunday. The United States-Czech pair tamed unseeded Australians Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2, 6-1 in the final.

Without any double faults or unforced errors, the duo of Mattek-Sands and Safarova fared stable to break six times to seal the win in just one hour and six minutes.

Ryan Harrison and Michael Venus won their first Grand Slam tennis title with a victory in the men's doubles final in the 2017 French Open. The US-New Zealand pair on Saturday won 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3 against Santiago Gonzalez and Donald Young in two hours and 14 minutes.

"You always dream of winning a Grand Slam every time you're playing as a kid. You idolise people who win Grand Slams. You picture yourself in those moments. It feels a little surreal," said Harrison, adding that Venus felt like a brother to him.

Fresh from winning the maiden Grand Slam title of his career at the French Open, Indian tennis star Rohan Bopanna asserted on Saturday that he is in the best form of his life at the moment.

"At the start of the year, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and I won the Chennai Open. Then, Marcin (Matkowski) and I reached the Dubai Open final. In April, Pablo Cuevas and I took the Monte Carlo Masters title. So I've played with three different players this year. I've had to adapt to their styles, and I've had to figure out a way to use our combined strengths to get good results," Bopanna told the media.

Canada’s success at the 2017 French Open continued on Saturday as 16-year-olds Bianca Andreescu and Carson Branstine clinched the junior girls doubles trophy.

The No. 1-seeded all-Canadian duo ousted Russians Olesya Pervushina and Anastasia Potapova 6-1, 6-3 in 57 minutes on the clay courts to claim their second straight Grand Slam together. The pair also won the Australian Open in January for their first major titles.

Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal and Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka won their respective semi-finals in contrasting fashion to enter the Men's Singles Final at the French Open.

Nadal rode on his unstoppable run in his quest for his 10th success at Roland Garros as he beat promising Austrian star Dominic Thiem in straight sets in the semi-finals. Wawrinka had to work considerably harder for the other final spot, edging out top seed Sir Andy Murray in a five-set thriller.

Just a win away from her maiden Grand Slam title, and the world No. 1 ranking to boot, Romanian tennis player Simona Halep wants to keep a cool head against the history-making Latvian underdog Jelena Ostapenko. Halep will face 20-year-old Ostapenko in the women's singles final of the French Open on Saturday.

"Of course, it's going to be a great thing if I can win tomorrow, but I would like not to think too much, as it will put more pressure," said the No. 3 seed Halep at the pre-game conference on Friday.
