Overview
- Defending champion Coco Gauff was beaten by Anastasia Potapova 4-6, 7-6(1), 6-4 on Saturday, ending her title defence and removing a top contender from the women's field.
- World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka beat Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 7-5 to record her 100th win as the top-ranked player and will meet Naomi Osaka, who overcame Iva Jovic in a three-set match, in the fourth round.
- The men's draw has been destabilised by surprise exits, with Novak Djokovic losing a five-set match to Joao Fonseca and top seed Jannik Sinner falling to Juan Manuel Cerundolo, creating clearer paths for lower-ranked players.
- Teenagers and lower-ranked players have provided the tournament's defining moments, highlighted by 17-year-old Moise Kouame's near-five-hour win and Fonseca's upset of Djokovic.
- Several multi-hour matches and a sustained Paris heatwave have intensified concerns about player recovery and scheduling as Roland Garros moves into its second week.
