Overview
- Juan Manuel Cerúndolo rallied from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner in five sets, winning 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 in about three and a half hours.
- Sinner showed signs of dizziness and severe cramping in the third set, received on-court medical attention, briefly left the court, and then struggled to sustain his level.
- The loss snapped Sinner's approximately 30-match unbeaten run and eliminated the tournament favorite from Paris earlier than expected.
- Cerúndolo, ranked around No. 54–56, reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time and will play the winner of Vit Kopriva versus Martín Landaluce.
- Juan Manuel's upset came the same day his brother Francisco also advanced, boosting Argentine presence at Roland Garros and creating new tactical openings in the tournament draw and the ATP race.
