PARIS – Unlike in New York, at the U.S. Open where she was placed in quarantine and forced out of the women's doubles tournament after playing cards with a coronavirus-infected player, Kristina Mladenovic came up trumps in doubles at the French Open.
The French player and Hungarian partner Timea Babos defended their Roland Garros doubles title on Sunday, winning their fourth Grand Slam title together.
Then, in what came across as a non-too-subtle dig at U.S. public health officials, Mladenovic said she is looking forward to playing cards again with countryman Benoit Paire.
