PARIS — The 2019 French Open is over, and it was business as usual for the men and business as usual for the women.
Those businesses are very different at the moment, however.
Rafael Nadal won his 12th French Open singles title, reconfirming his singular brilliance on clay but also extending the dominance of a trio of transcendent champions in their thirties.
Ashleigh Barty, an all-court threat from Australia, won her first French Open, which made her the eighth first-time Grand Slam singles champion on the women’s tour in the last four seasons.
