WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

French voice: the 'parade of upsets' narrative

Le Monde, RFI, France 24, 20 Minutes and Ouest-France tell the most unpredictable edition in years. Not a single Grand Slam champion in the semifinals, men or women. France 24 documents the Kostyuk-Andreeva semifinal 'against the backdrop of war in Ukraine'. 20 Minutes calls it 'the most enjoyable tournament we've ever covered'.

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Editorial freedom tied to the absence of national stakes: no French player in the draw.

Refusal of depoliticization: the Ukraine war is named in a headline.

Descriptive restraint — no psychological analysis of Sabalenka.
