Aryna Sabalenka hopes French Open organisers have been persuaded to put more women’s matches on in the night session after her high-class performance to beat Naomi Osaka.

For the first time in three years and only the fifth time since the one-match night session was introduced in 2021, a women’s match was given centre stage, ending a sequence of 33 consecutive men’s contests.
