Jakub Mensik last 3 victories at #RolandGarros
Lies on court unable to move after cramping as he defeats Navone 7-6 (13-11) in the 5th in 4h41
Rallies from 6-0 1st set loss to defeat Alex de Minaur
Holds off Andrey Rublev in 5 setter
Into his 1st Grand Slam quarter at age 20....and how!
Still one week to go and a guaranteed first-time women's and men's singles champ at #RolandGarros
Already been quite a tournament
No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev, with the opportunity of a lifetime to win his first major, does not blow it on Friday night. Holds firm after losing the 3d set to defeat Frenchman Quentin Halys 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-2
Four rounds to go
Another gutsy marathon victory for Casper Ruud and another bitter one to take for American Tommy Paul, who had two match points in the 4th set and then some big chances in the end, losing 5 straight points from 40-0 in the final game.
Ruud prevails: 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (4) 7-5. And will face 19-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca in R4 of this wild and crazy #FrenchOpen
Lord knows it hasn't been easy
A match for the ages, literally, and 19-year-old Joao Fonseca finishes it with three consecutive aces against the 39-year-old Novak Djokovic to hold from break point down and close out a match neither Fonseca nor Djokovic will ever forget for very different reasons
4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 in nearly 5 hours
And with the first week not yet over at #RolandGarros there will be a new French Open & Grand Slam singles champion guaranteed
19-year-old Brazlian Joao Fonseca will serve for the match at #RolandGarros against the 24-time major champ Novak Djokovic
After just two rounds, only one man left in the French Open has won a major: Djokovic, and he's 39.
Only one man left in the top half has reached a major final: Berrettini, and he's ranked 105
No. 1 Jannik Sinner, one of the biggest Grand Slam favorites in #tennis history, does not make it past the second round. Melts down in the Paris heat with a seemingly impregnable 6-3, 6-2 5-1 lead and loses 18 of the final 20 games and the match to Juan Manuel Cerundolo
Hard to believe unless you watched it
Four Swiss π¨ππ¨ππ¨ππ¨π women still in the #RolandGarros singles
No Swiss men
3 hour mark arrives in the Djokovic-Royer match and plenty more to go for Djokovic, who is up but looking quite a bit wearier than an opponent 15 years his junior
