Serena, Halep, Azarenka, and Sharapova on Roland Garros entry list
PARIS, France - Former champions Serena Williams, Garbiñe Muguruza and Maria Sharapova head the field at the 2018 French Open, along with Grand Slam winners Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki, World No.1 Simona Halep, and reigning title-holder Jelena Ostapenko.
Serena is currently on her return from maternity leave after giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia last year, and uses her protected ranking to secure her entry at Roland Garros, where she has won the singles crown three times.
Last year's champion Ostapenko and runner-up Halep are also on the entry list, alongside reigning Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki.
