Qualifying not going so well so far, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson and Jan Choinski all lost in Rd 1.

[Jane]

[Hawkeye]

Fran Jones won in straights, and we are guaranteed a man through as Dan Evans is a set up on Billy Harris.

[Hawkeye]

Dan won in straights.

[JAMES4578]

Not great, well done Fran and Dan though :)

[Hawkeye]

Dan and Fran both play Q2 tomorrow.

[Jane]

Dan lost and Fran lost the first set 2-6 :sad:

[JAMES4578]

Well done Fran! some tough draws, not too bad for Jack .

[Sallydaisy]

Fran battling for a place in the Main Draw ... and a very weird scoreline!
Fran 0'6, 6'0 against Sobolieva.
It's a one set shootout ...

[Sallydaisy]

The Ukrainian gets a 3-0 lead and then Fran broke back.
Our Brit now serving at *1-3, sadly another break ... 1-4*

[Sallydaisy]

Fran lost.
:sad:

[JAMES4578]

pity for Fran, oh well. of course been mentioned before but the French open coverage is now on TNT, also available via Discovery Plus but need the premium package.

[cazza99]

oop for Sunday, the first day is out. No Brits in it, but unknown if this is the full oop yet.

h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-05-25

[cazza99]

Laura Robson and Tim Henman who were recently on the Sky Team and Anne Keothagong are now in the TNT team. Mark Petchey will be commentating. Mats Willander from the old Eurosport team is there too.

[cazza99]

Jack has a tricky draw.

If he wins his first few matches he could be playing Monfils in the second round, Fonseca or Hurcacz in the third round and Minaur or Mensik in the fourth and Sinner in the quarters.

[cazza99]

oop is out for Monday. Play starts at 11 am on Phillipe Chatriere and 10 am on all the other courts.

Katie Boulter vs Monnet - 3rd on Simone-Matthieu

Jacob Fearnley vs Wawrinka - 3rd on Court 14

Emma Raducanu vs Wang - 1st on Court 8 (10 am UK time)

Jodie Burrage vs Collins - 2nd on Court 8

[cazza99]

Lovely to see the Rafa Ceremony.

Andy, Nole and Roger were all there as part of the big 4.

[Teresa]

I found the Rafa tribute incredibly sad. I was no fan of 3 of them, but it really hit home what we have lost. I can’t see Djokovic going on beyond this year. Then the “Big 4” will be truly history.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly the Rafa tribute was moving and good to see Andy there as well as Federer and Djokovic .whatever our views on each of them they were part of a great era and Andy was very much part of that (even if he was not close in terms of slam victories). Djokovic must also be in twilight of career even though he took his 100th title in Geneva. However time moves on and I have comes to terms with it and support a number of the new generation.

[Hawkeye]

Emma takes the first set 7-5.

[Hawkeye]

Wang takes it to a decider, 6-4.

[Sallydaisy]

Emma went 3-0 up in set 3 but has just been broken.
Wang serving *1-3

Break back by Emma, next to serve at *4-1
:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Emma finally got over the line ... was broken again serving for the match at *5-2
but held to take the 3rd set, and match, 7'5, 4'6, 6'3.

Toughed it out after having medical checks at the end of the first set (blood pressure and oxygen levels). She'll need to find some grit for the next match - R2 against Iga Swiatek!!!
:facepalm:

[cazza99]

oop out for Tuesday - h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-05-27

Jack Draper vs Belucci - 4th on Suzanne Lenglen

Cameron Norrie vs Medvedev - 1st on Simone-Mathieu

Sony Kartel vs E Andreeva - 3rd on Court 9

[cazza99]

Jacob Fearnley has just taken out Stan the man in straight sets. :clap:

[Sallydaisy]

Well done Jake!!!
:thumbup:
Maybe time for Stan to bow out too???
He's just one of the 'few' who managed to win a Grand Slam (or 3) during the "reign" of the big 4!!!
(along with Cilic and Del Potro who won 1 each).

[Sallydaisy]

Meanwhile Richard Gasquet walks out onto Chatrier for possibly his last ever match ...
... to a stadium 1/2 empty.
:sad:

Hope he gets a few cheers if he wins against compatriot Altmane!

[Genbrit]

Well done to Jacob. Enjoyed watching that. :cheer:

We are traveling for the summer, so having trouble accessing the forum at times.:sad:

Also staying near mother-in-law at moment, who is not a tennis fan and may not understand that I will not be visiting when the Brit's play.:help: However, will give her some quality time with her son, which I think she will enjoy. :big grin:

We do get along, so I'm sure everything will be fine. :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Katie Boulter was 5-3 up in the 1st set against Monnet (FRA) but is now in a tie-break.
KB was also up 3-1 in the tie-break, now 3-3.
:shrug:

Lo and behold - from a winning position TWICE Katie loses the first set.
Monnet won the tie-break 7'6(4)

[Sallydaisy]

Katie came back to win 6'7(4), 6'1, 6'1.

:phew:

[cazza99]

There are also a few brits in the doubles tomorrow.

[JAMES4578]

certainly a few good wins, Jacob was convincing after a tight opening set aghainst Stan, well done!
:swingin:
A bit tricky for Emma at times and some concern but was strong enough in the decider- good stuff!
:yahoo:
pity about the tough draw with Swiatek but hopefully performs better than the last time. Good to see Katie come through!

Gasquet did come through in 4 sets,well done!
:swingin:
Faces Sinner in Round though so a real challenge.

[Stell]

Congratulations to Jack Draper on becoming the world number four after Taylor Fritz's loss in the first round.

[JAMES4578]

Real surprise with Fritz, good news for Jack though!

[cazza99]

Just hope it is still onwards and upwards for Jack. 4 in the world brilliant. :clap:

[cazza99]

Cameron Norrie has won the first set against Medvedev. Apparently Medvedev does not like early starts.

Cameron 3-0 up in the second set. Come on Cam :cheer:

[Sallydaisy]

Cam now 5-2 in the 2nd set, Meddy serving to stay in it ... 30-0, 30-30 and holds.
Cam to serve for it at *5-3 up.
:peace:

Unfortunately MeddyBear has a habit of waking up by the time set 3 comes around.
Watch this space!!!
:big grin:

[cazza99]

Yep, just hoping Cam can get this done before Medvedev wakes up. :big grin:

[Sallydaisy]

3rd set:1-1 on serve.

Meddy *30-0, 40-15, 40-30, 40-40 and 2 good serves see him hold for 2-1.

[Sallydaisy]

3rd set has all gone with serve. Cam will be serving to stay in the set at *4-5.
Will this be Meddy's chance to get back into the match?

Cam: *0-15, 0-30, 15-30, 30-30, 40-30, deuce. *40-Ad.

And there you go - Medvedev breaks Norrie to take the 3rd set 6'4.
:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

MeddyBear has definitely woken up! He's 3-0 up in the 4th set.
:facepalm:

Breaks Norrie again to go 4-0, and holds to love for 5-0.

Meddy takes the 4th set 6'1.

I'm only following on Livescores, in between doing some work, but it seems as though Cam has just lost whatever it was that he was playing in sets 1 & 2.

[Sallydaisy]

:shrug:

5th set ......

[Sallydaisy]

Crikey - a very long game to start the 5th set ... but Cam finally holds for 1-0 after 14mins of play.
Meddy had 4 BP chances but Cam held him off and took the game on his own 5th Ad point.

[Sallydaisy]

Meddy serving at *3-2 having got one crucial break of serve in the 3rd game.

Holds for 4-2

[Sallydaisy]

Jings!

Cam broke MeddyBear, serving for the match at *5-4, and is serving at *5-5 in the 5th set.

Cam holds for 6-5.

Meddy now has to serve to stay in the match.
:hmm:

[Sallydaisy]

Way to go Cameron Norrie!!!!!
:yahoo:

Breaks MeddyBear again to take the 5th set 7'5 and the match.
:thumbup:

Really did it the hard way though .....
..... another couple of games in set 3 would have been easier!
7'5, 6'3, 4'6, 1'6, 7'5

But a win is a win!
:GBflag:

[cazza99]

:yahoo: :yahoo: Cam has beaten Medvedev. :clap: :clap:

4 Brit singles players through to second round so far. :clap: 2 more to come.

[cazza99]

Salsibury/Skupski and Cash/Glasspool through to second round.

[cazza99]

Sonay Kartel coming up next on Court 9.

[cazza99]

Very windy at RG today. They are closing the roof of Philippe Chatriere.

[Hawkeye]

Credit to Cam, that's a great result.

[cazza99]

oop out for Wednesday. h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-05-28

Emma playing Swiatek 3rd match on PC..

[Sallydaisy]

Sonay has just notched up a bagel against Erika Andreeva (big sister of Mirra).
Takes the 1st set by 6-0.
:GBflag:

[cazza99]

Kartel has won the first set 6-0.

[cazza99]

Jack's match will be starting soon as previous match has finished.

[JAMES4578]

Fabulous for Cameron, looked like it was slipping away from him but a great flourish, well done! :swingin:Medvedev though had bit of sloppy game when serving for it. sonjay still dominating with a 3-1 lead in 2nd.

[cazza99]

Sonay has taken the match 6-0 6-2. :clap:

Jack 1-5 in the first set.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack has clawed his way back into the match but Bellucci is serving for the 1st set at *5-3.
Jack had break points at *0-40 but the Italian has saved them all and now has Ad.

Back to deuce.
They are taking a long time for each point .....
Bellucci has Ad again.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack had Ad for another break point but saved by Bellucci.
Now deuce and Ad again for Italian.

Finally Bellucci converts and takes the 1st set 6'3.

Jack was working his way into it so hopefully he'll now motor on through the rest of the match.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack 3-0 up in the 2nd set, Bellucci holds for 1-3.
They're playing under a closed roof.

[cazza99]

Now 4-1 in second set.

[Sallydaisy]

That's better! Jack takes the 2nd set 6-1.

[Sallydaisy]

And the 3rd set 6'4.

However, he's serving 2nd in the 4th set and is currently *1-2, 15-15.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack gets the first break in the 4th set; now serving at *3-2

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo:
Jack won! That's the 6th Brit through to R2.
3'6, 6'1, 6'4, 6'2

[Hawkeye]

Never happened before in the Open era.

[cazza99]

1973 was the last year 6 brits got through.

It was a cracking Monfils match - 5 setter. Monfils will play Jack next.

[Hawkeye]

First time in the Open era for 3 men and 3 women. Or at least so I read...

[Sallydaisy]

Comprehensive win for Swiatek over Raducanu ... 6'1, 6'2
:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

Fearnley/Diallo and Johnson/Arends won their R1 Mens Doubles matches.

As did Kartal/Burrage.
Dart/Birrell lost to Begu/Wickmayer.

[cazza99]

TNT presenters/commentators were saying 1973 since 6 British players through. 52 Years ago. Also Stuart Fraser of the Times says this too.

[cazza99]

oop for Thursday - h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-05-28

Britain’s five second-round matches on Thursday (copied from The Times)

Sonay Kartal v Marie Bouzkova (Cz Rep), Court 11, expected at 10am BST

Cameron Norrie v Federico Agustin Gomez (Arg), Court 13, expected at 1.30pm

Katie Boulter v Madison Keys (US, 7), Court Philippe-Chatrier, expected at 2.30pm

Jacob Fearnley v Ugo Humbert (Fr, seeded 22), Court Simonne-Mathieu, expected at 3pm

Jack Draper (5) v Ga?l Monfils (Fr), Court Philippe-Chatrier, expected at 7.15pm

TV TNT Sports 1 & 4

[Sallydaisy]

Norrie beat Gomez in 3.
Fearnley is a set up against Humbert.
Draper v Monfils has just started.

Both ladies lost their matches ...
Boukova d Kartal
Keys d Boulter

[Hawkeye]

Fearnley through as Humbert retires. Means we are guaranteed a man in round 4 as he plays Cam Norrie next.

Jack a set up against Monfils.

[themass15]

1 down 2 to go for Jack

[Hawkeye]

Jack and Gael level at 1-1.

[Hawkeye]

Jack serving for the match at 6-5 in the 4th.

[Hawkeye]

Jack silences the partisan French crowd with a 4 set win.

3 men into the third round for the first time since 1968.

[JAMES4578]

A tough encounter but such a gutsy display from Jack to take it in 4, was looking a bit dicey at one point. Tremendous fighting spirit to clinch it though. A good day for the Brits on the Men's side though Fearnley got a break, real pity for Humbert. A surprise with Bulik coming from 2 sets down to put out De Minaur, Mensik also out.

Not so good for Katie and Sonay though the expected results.

[Speedy Hawk]

Just seen news that Brits did well yesterday. That great result!

[cazza99]

What a cracking match that was with Jack beating Monfils and the home crowd. :cheer:

And well done to Cameron and Jacob. :cheer:

[Sallydaisy]

Well done lads!!!
:GBflag:

Shame about the ladies ...
:flowers:

[cazza99]

The draw has become lopsided.

4 of the top 6 are in tomorrow's half (where there are 3 Brits) and 1 in the top 6 in today's half.

[Sallydaisy]

Saturday OOP change.
Fils has withdrawn, giving a WO to Rublev who is through to R4.
Jack Draper v Joao Fonseca will be 3rd on Lenglen (replacing the Fils/Rublev slot)
Norrie v Fearnley stays at 4th on Matthieu, Bublik v Rocha on 3rd i/o Draper/Fonseca.
Play on both courts starts at 10am UK time.

[cazza99]

With a victory over Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic on Saturday, Djokovic would record his 99th match win at Roland Garros, which would equal his best mark at a single Grand Slam tournament.

If Djokovic beats Misolic, he would play Jacob Fearnley or Cameron Norrie to try and secure his 100th win at the clay-court Slam.

[cazza99]

oop for today - h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-05-31

Sinner is whizzing through his match. 6-0 1-0 .

[JAMES4578]

A rout for sinner over Lehecka 6-0,6-1,6-2 ! Fairly comfortable for Jack who has just beaten Fonseca 6-2,6-4,6-2 - well done! :swingin: Thought it might have been a bit tougher but positive anyway!

[Sallydaisy]

Sinner wrapped up the match for the loss of just 3 games! 6'0, 6'1, 6'2

[Sallydaisy]

Jolly good win for Jack Draper over up coming Fonseca.
He's through to R4 winning 6'2, 6'4, 6'2
:GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

In the Mixed Doubles Henry Patten (& Olivia Nicholls) is taking on his Mens Doubles Partner Heliovaara (& Danilina). Patten/Nicholls took the first set 6'3 and were up 4'2 in the 2nd but t'others have broken back and lead 6'5 (on serve). Looks like a tie-break is incoming!

[Sallydaisy]

Henry and Olivia win - nailed the tie-break 7'0!
:thumbup:

Skupski/Krawczyk d Routliffe/Venus in 3 sets earlier today.

Lloyd Glasspool & Giuliana Olmos (Mexico) took the 1st set against Matos/Bucsa.
They're down a break in the 2nd with the Brazil/Spain pairing serving at *3-2 up.
Broke back, so 3-3 all square and on serve.

[cazza99]

Well done Jack. He will play Bublik next.

Cam vs Jacob to start soon. They are warming up.

[cazza99]

Henry beat Harri in the mixed doubles.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam has just taken the 1st set against Fearnley.

Glasspool/Olmos won their match but it was a toughie - 6'4, 6'7, 11'9

[Sallydaisy]

Cam was up 4-0 in the 2nd set but Fearnley is fighting back and now serving at 5-5.

Norrie has just broken back to love ... will serve for the 2nd set at *6-5 after the change of ends.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam took the 2nd set and was serving for the match at 5-1 but Fearnley broke back and is serving at *2-5.

[cazza99]

Cam taken the match.

[Sallydaisy]

Well done Cameron - finally got the win after a blip serving for the match.
He's into R4 at RollyG after beating compatriot Fearnley by 6'3, 7'6(1), 6'2

His next opponent is likely to be Djokovic who has just started his R3 match against Misolic, aged 23 and ranked 153.
The Austrian came through qualifying and despatched Shapovalov in R2 in a 5 set thriller!

[Genbrit]

I thought Fearnley would win this but he didn't seem to show up. Well done to Cam.

[JAMES4578]

A tough and demanding 2nd set betweeen Cameron and Jacob , after fighting back from 0-4 Fearnley seemed to fade in the 3rd. Jacob took more risks but too many errors and physically Cameron was strong. A good win for Norrie but looking like Djokovic next, a set and break up! Misolic though has had a good run.

[cazza99]

First time since 1963 that 2 men have got into the 4th round.

[Sallydaisy]

Shelton is going toe-to-toe with Alcaraz in their first set.
Alcaraz to serve at *5-6 to stay in the set and take it to a tie-breaker.

On the Ladies side ...
Svitolina d Paolini
Zheng d Samsonova
Swiatek d Rybakina

Sabalenka is a set up against Anisimova and 3-0 in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

First set tie-breaker between Shelton and Alcaraz.
All on serve with Alcaraz next to serve at*4-5, he was broken so Shelton serving for the set at *6-5.
Alca broke back ... 6-6! Change of ends.
This could go on all night!!!
:laugh:

Back on serve as Shelt holds for 7'6. Alca still on the back foot, needs to hold both his serves.
*7-7, *8-7 and that's set point to the Spaniard.

Shelt holds *8-8, broken ... *8-9. Alcaraz has set point on his own serve agan.

[Sallydaisy]

First set to Alcaraz - quite a battle. 7'6(8)

[Sallydaisy]

Alcaraz takes the 2nd set 6'3 against Shelton and now has a 2-0 lead.

Sabalenka d Anisimova.

[Sallydaisy]

3rd set to Shelton. Game on.

[Sallydaisy]

Alcaraz prevails and is through to the QFs, wins 7'6(8), 6'3, 4'6, 6'4

He joins Americans Tiafoe and Paul.

Rune v Musetti are 2-2 in their opening set.

[Hawkeye]

Tomorrow's OOP has Cam v. Nole 3rd on Chatrier and Jack v. Bublik last up on Lenglen.

In the doubles, Salisbury and Skupski are first up on Court Simone Matthieu, and there's 3 Brits last up on Court 14, where Cash and Glasspool face Johnson and Arends.

[Sallydaisy]

Musetti has just taken the 3rd set for a lead of 2-1 against Rune.
Late night in RollyG ...

[Sallydaisy]

Patten/Nicholls are also in action tomorrow against Italian pair of Errani/Vavassori.
Scheduled for 14.30 UK time.

[themass15]

Good luck Jack this afternoon

[suttontennis]

Bublik - an awkward customer. Likely to see flashes if brilliance mixed with 'why on earth did he try that' shots. Known as 'one sock' after the DC in Glasgow !!

[Hawkeye]

Djokovic beats Norrie in straights.

Bublik on the verge of a 2 sets to 1 lead.

[Sallydaisy]

Bublik broke Jack in the 1st game of the 4th set and has stayed ahead.
Jack is clinging on and held his serve since then but Bublik is about to serve at *4-3 up.

[Sallydaisy]

Bublik serving for the match at *5-4 ..... and got broken by Jack!!!
So our Brit is serving now at 5-5.

CORRECTION!!!!!
There must have been a review because the score is back to*5-4 and Bublik has Ad.

[Sallydaisy]

:sad:

Jack is beaten by Rublik in 4 tough sets.

[cazza99]

Jack outclassed by Bublik but a positive is that he has some time to adapt to the grass.

[Hawkeye]

Most of the remaining British men in the doubles play their QFs tomorrow on Court Simone Matthieu. Patten/Heliovaara up first, followed by Salisbury/Skupski.

[cazza99]

Link to the oop for tomorrow

[Hawkeye]

Patten/Heliovaara lose in straight sets.

[cazza99]

oop out for tomorrow - h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-06-04

[JAMES4578]

A bit late commenting but such a pity for Jack, certainly Bublik was on fire but thought he still might have found his way through-could not capitalise at the end though. As expected for Cameron but thought it might have been a bit more competitive.

Salisbury/Skupski have advanced against Ebden/Peers 6-7,6-4,6-4.

[Hawkeye]

Neal and Desirae are into the Mixed Doubles semis.

[Sallydaisy]

Wow, Frenchwoman Boisson, WR361, has just take the 1st set tie-break over teenager Andreeva, WR6!

Up to now her biggest win on tour was the St Malo Challenger in 2024.
Injured just before RollyG last year, she was awarded a Wildcard into the 2025 event.
Now just 1 set away from the Semi-Final of a Grand Slam on home clay.

It ain't yet over and experience/stamina (at Grand Slam level) might become an issue -although Lois looks as though she's put in the hard yards. And the French crowd must be going nuts!

[Sallydaisy]

Andreeva went 3-0 up in the 2nd set but Boisson has held her serve and broken back, serving now at *2-3.

Boisson held, 3-3. 3 games away from an upset and place in the Semi-Finals to play Gauff.

[Sallydaisy]

Boisson wins!!! 7'6(6), 6'3 (she won the last 6 games!).

The partisan support always a great help but crikey, she's punching way above her ranking!

[Hawkeye]

Luke Johnson and Sander Arends lost their doubles QF.

Only Brits left now, at least in the senior events, are Salisbury/Skupski and Neal again in the Mixed.

[Sallydaisy]

Zverev took the first set 6'4 but Djokovic has now levelled the match to 1-1 after taking the 2nd set 6'3.

[Sallydaisy]

3rd set to Djokovic 6'2. Found his mojo.

[Hawkeye]

Nole wins, Neal and Desirae lose.

[JAMES4578]

whilst Djokovic was pretty impressive Zverev was somewhat disappointing as the match progressd,particularly in the 3rd set and could not quite find a way back in the end. certainly a surprise with Boisson getting the better of Andreeva in the end,Gauff had a battle with Keys for a while but ran away 6-1 in the decider.

pity for Neal and Desirae though was tight.

[Sallydaisy]

Sabalenka off to a flying start ... has broken Swiatek twice and is about to serve *3-0 up in the 1st set.
Early days ...

[Sallydaisy]

Iga fought back and the first set went to a tie-break.
Sabalenka got the upper hand though and took it 7'6(1).

In the 2nd set it's Swiatek a break up and serving at *3-2. Held for 4-2.

[Hawkeye]

Swiatek won the second set, but then got blown away in the decider.

[Sallydaisy]

Sabalenka into her first RollyG Final. That last set was all hers!
Beat Swiatek 7'6(1), 4'6, 6'0

Onto Coco Gauff v Lois Boisson.

[Sallydaisy]

Gauff leads 4-0 in the opening set ..... Boisson to find her feet but has finally held serve for 1-4.

[Hawkeye]

GB's Hannah Klugman has made the semis of the Girl's singles.

[Sallydaisy]

Gauff wins 6'1, 6'2 over Boisson. The RollyG Final will be between the world #1 and #2.

[JAMES4578]

sabalenka/Swiatek in battle for two sets but Aryna destroyed Iga in decider with a bagel losing only 6 points,will have been somewhat demoralising for the four times French open champion. No great surprise that Gauff had routine win over Boisson really.

Good for Hannah!

[Hawkeye]

Hannah Klugman makes the Girls final!

[Hawkeye]

Joe and Neal make the doubles final!

[JAMES4578]

Great for Joe/Neal , won the deciding ctb over Harrison/kiing in 6-7,6-3,10-7 win, well done !

Alcaraz in another Grand slam final but unfortunately Musetti had to retire at 0-2 in the 4th having lost 8 consecutive games and hampered by upper left leg injury.the Italian worried Alcaraz for a while having taken the first 6-4 but match turned when Carlos took 2nd set Breaker 7-3.

[cazza99]

oop for Saturday - h ttps://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/order-of-play?year=2025&competition=all&annexeCourt=all&principalCourt=all&favoriteFilter=false&country=all&date=2025-06-07

Salisbury and Skupski in doubles final after the womens final which starts 2 pm.

Hanna Klugman from GB is in the junior girls final tomorrow at 11 am. She is only 16 years old.

[Sallydaisy]

Sinner has taken the first 2 sets 6'4, 7'5.
Djokovic had set points x 3 at *4-5 but Sinner saved them all and held.

Into a tie-break for the 3rd set.

GSM Jannik Sinner v Novak Djokovic, 6'4, 7'5, 7'6(3)

Cracking Final ahead between Sinner and Alcaraz.

[cazza99]

First time we have had a junior female in the final for 49 years.

[JAMES4578]

Quite lengthy for a straights sets win particularly in the 2nd and 3 but Sinner always seemed to have the edge on Djokovic, stepped up when he needed to and Novak could not keep him at bay. Great for Jannik- well done! :swingin:

Should be interesting v Alcaraz!

well done to Hannah Klugman,great she made the Junior final :)

[Sallydaisy]

Lilli Tagger, AUT, took the Girls title with a 6'2, 6'0 win over Hannah Klugman.

[Hawkeye]

Coco Gauff comes from a set down to beat Sabalenka and win her first Roland Garros.

[Hawkeye]

Ouch...

Neal and Joe bagelled in the first set.

[Hawkeye]

1 set all! Neal and Joe take the second set 7-6(5).

[JAMES4578]

Glad Coco Gauff overcame Sabalenka 6-7,6-2,6-4. Difficult conditions and not always the best tennis but some drama and Gauff was stronger mentally. Has a more attractive game.

unfortunately Granollers/Zeballos take the decider in the Men's Doubles 7-5 to take the title, close in the end though!

Pity Hannah did not make much of an impression but had a good tournament!

[Sallydaisy]

Sinner takes the first set 6'4.

[Sallydaisy]

And the 2nd set 7'6(4) after a lead of 4-1 from which Alcaraz fought back to get to the tie-breaker.
The Itialian is one win away from the RollyG title.
Still not over .....

[Sallydaisy]

Game on ... Alcaraz takes the 3rd set 6'4 and now it gets interesting.
For matches over 3hrs duration the Spaniard might have more stamina to outlast the Italian.

[Sallydaisy]

ooo very nervy moments

Sinner got the break in game 7 and held to go 5-3 up.
Alcaraz held.
Sinner served for the match at *5-4 and got broken back ... 5-5.

If Alcaraz can find some magic and get this set it'll be a long night at Roland Garros!

[Sallydaisy]

Caramba!!!
We're going 5 ...
:shades:

[Sallydaisy]

Alcaraz saved 3 Championship points from 3-5, 0-40 down, broke Sinner as he served for the match at *5-4
and then won the tie-break 7-3.

:phew:

[Sallydaisy]

Alcaraz got a break to start the 5th set and it's stayed on serve since.

So, the Spaniard will serve for the match at *5-4 up in the Final set.

Over 5hrs on court - they've set a record already.

[Sallydaisy]

Sinner broke back .....
:tennis:
5-5

[Sallydaisy]

6-6 ... 5th set ... Super tie-breaker to 10 to decide the winner of RollyG 2025.

Sinner to serve first:
*0-1 broken
0-2*
0-3* Alcaraz en fuego
*0-4 Sinner broken again ...
*0-5 Heck.
0-6*
0-7* This is looking rather good for Alcaraz!
*1-7
*2-7
2-8*
2-9* and Alcaraz has 7 match points ...
*2-10

[Sallydaisy]

:trophy:

Carlos Alcaraz wins the Roland Garros title.
5 hard fought sets - 5 hrs and 31 minutes.

4'6, 6'7(4), 6'4, 7'6(3), 7'6 (10-2)

[cazza99]

What a match. We have just watched history. Longest grand slam final in Roland Garros and second longest of all time (after Nole vs Rafa at Wimbledon). Well done Carlos :clap: :clap:

[JAMES4578]

Incredible mauch, such drama and amazing quality for the most part. Sinner was in a strong position but a great comeback from Alcaraz,a few twists though and it went right to the wire but Alcaraz was outstanding in the final set breaker.

Bravo for carlos, also feel for Jannick who was close. :swingin:

[exislander]

What a match that was! I found myself reminiscing about classic McEnroe v Borg at Wimbledon.
