Roland Garros: Five things we learned on Day 5 - Power, the love and the self

World number 115 David Goffin complained robustly about the noisy fans and nothing was done. But world number one and defending champion Iga Swiatek raised her eyebrow and the French Open tournament director was on the case.

New era

Iga Swiatek, the top seed and defending champion, clearly shook stuff up when she spoke out about the poor behaviour of the spectators on Court Philippe Chatrier during her three-hour tussle with Naomi Osaka on Day 4. Less than 24 hours after the Pole had highlighted what has been glaringly obvious for a few years, French Open tournament director Amélie Mauresmo announced a crackdown on the wild ones. She said there'd be no more alcohol allowed into the stands, security staff would keep an eagle eye on the miscreants and throw them out if necessary. Umpires would also be told to be less indulgent of raucousness. Swiatek is due out on Day 6 to play her third round match. Wonder how she'll be greeted.
