Two unseeded finals

The semi finals ha e been played in the four tournaments leading into Roland Garros which begins at the same time as the finals of the these tournaments

The semi final results 

Nurnberg 

Alison Riske defeated Kirsten Flipkens 6-3 6-1

She will play Johanna Larsson in the final

Johanna Larsson defeated Katerina Siniakova (8) 4-6 6-3 6-1 to set up an all unseeded final.

Both players have one WTA title to their name - Riske won hers in October 2014 in China 

Larsson was successful in Sweden in July 2015

So for one this will be breaking a long drought.

Larsson, whose career high ranking is 45, will rise at least 30 places to 67, and if she wins, to 59

Riske, whose career high ranking is 36, will rise at least 22 places to 83, and if she wins, to 68

Riske leads 2-0 head to head, but those results were in 2010 and 2014 so bear little meaning to this final.

Strasbourg 

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (3) defeated Ash Barty (1) 6-4 1-0 (retired) thanks to the Australian suffering a back injury, one which threatens her Roland Garros campaign.

Pavlyuchenkova will play Dominika Cibulková in the final

Wildcard Dominika Cibulkova (5) defeated Mihaela Buzarnescu (4)

Buzarnescu led 6-2 5-3 and served for the match after Cibulkova held serve for 4-5.

Then mistakes from th Romanian led to a service break and eventually to a tie break 

Cibulkova trailed 3-5 in the tie break, but she came back from the brink a second time, winning the next four points, taking the set 7-6(5) and running away with the decider 6-1.  27 points from 37 decided emphasised the third set dominance of Cibulkova who now contests her second final of 2018

Cibulkova leads 7-3 head to head, including five of the last six, the latest being in Doha earlier this year.

Geneva 

Marton Fucsovics defeated Steve Johnson (6) 2-6 6-4 6-1

Peter Gojowczyk defeated wildcard Fabio Fognini (2) 6-4 6-4 and will contest another all unseeded final
