As much as I've enjoyed some of the unpredictability at this year's Roland Garros, the problem with so many upsets is that you often wind up with lopsided endings -- and 2026 is no exception. A Mensik-Zverev final and a Kostyuk-Andreeva final would be just fine. But instead Arnaldi or Cobolli will be in the men's final and Shnaider or Chwalinska(!) will be in the women's -- and either of them could end up beating their more challenged opponent. While it's foolish to say anyone who wins a major didn't really deserve to do so, sometimes the luck of the draw is more egregious than others.
Thoughts?

I've never even heard of two of the women's semifinalists, and I've only barely seen a few references to a third.
I guess Andreeva will win unless she has a major meltdown....
Does this situation speak to the depth of talent in the WTA, or is it a sign that the top players aren't that good?
