Matteo Berrettini takes on Matteo Arnaldi on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as the French Open delivers a run of tight outcomes across singles and doubles, including seeded-upsets and a walkover involving Gabriela Dabrowski and Evan King.
The French Open rhythm shifted again on the court—first with singles that swung at the edges, then with doubles where the seeds didn’t hold as neatly as people expected.
On Court Philippe-Chatrier, Maja Chwalinska (Poland) beat Anna Kalinskaya (Russian athlete) (Seed ranking 22). Chwalinska took Set 1 7–6, winning the tie break 7–3. She followed with a 6–3 win in Set 2. Set 3 shows no score—no score.
Kalinskaya then sits beside another high-profile result. Diana Shnaider (Russian athlete) (Seed ranking 25) beat Aryna Sabalenka (Belarus athlete) (Seed ranking 1). Sabalenka lost the opening set 3–6, but bounced in Set 2 to win 7–5. In the deciding set, Shnaider powered through, taking Set 3 6–0.
The singles slate also produced its own see-saw. Flavio Cobolli (Italy) (Seed ranking 10) beat Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada) (Seed ranking 4). Cobolli won Set 1 6–4 before Auger-Aliassime responded with a 6–4 in Set 2. The match tightened again: Cobolli won Set 3 6–4, and then Set 4 6–4. Set 5 shows no score—no score.
While those results played out, attention turned to a match with its own built-in contrast. Matteo Berrettini (Italy) vs Matteo Arnaldi (Italy) is set at Court Suzanne-Lenglen. Berrettini and Arnaldi share the same nationality but not the same momentum this fortnight—momentum that has already been tested in the tournament’s surrounding games.
In the men’s doubles, the top seeds didn’t start slowly. Marcel Granollers (Spain) (Seed ranking 1) and Horacio Zeballos (Argentina) (Seed ranking 1) beat Hugo Nys (Monaco) (Seed ranking 10) and Edouard Roger-Vasselin (France) (Seed ranking 10). Granollers and Zeballos took Set 1 6–3 and Set 2 6–4. Set 3 shows no score—no score.
Another pair from France kept things moving too. Quentin Halys (France) and Pierre-Hugues Herbert (France) beat Sander Arends (Netherlands) and David Pel (Netherlands). Halys and Herbert won Set 1 6–4 and Set 2 6–4, with Set 3 showing no score—no score.
Sara Errani (Italy) (Seed ranking 1) and Andrea Vavassori (Italy) (Seed ranking 1) also advanced, beating Laura Siegemund (Germany) and Edouard Roger-Vasselin (France). The set scores read like a tightening contest: Set 1 6–1, Set 2 6–4. Set 3 shows no score—no score.
In another doubles matchup, Shuko Aoyama (Japan) and En-Shuo Liang (Taiwan) beat Hanyu Guo (China) (Seed ranking 13) and Kristina Mladenovic (France) (Seed ranking 13). They won Set 1 6–4 and Set 2 6–4, with Set 3 showing no score—no score.
The women’s and mixed-doubles courts weren’t calmer, either. Harri Helioevaara (Finland) (Seed ranking 2) and Henry Patten (Great Britain) (Seed ranking 2) beat Sriram Balaji (India) and Marcelo Demoliner (Brazil). Helioevaara and Patten won Set 1 6–3 and Set 2 6–4. Set 3 shows no score—no score.
Gabriela Dabrowski (Canada) and Evan King (United States) also reached a key moment, beating Asia Muhammad (United States) and Nikola Mektic (Croatia). Dabrowski and King won Set 1 7–5. They then lost Set 2 6–7, tie break 6–8. In Set 3, they surged to a 10–5 win.
Anna Danilina (Kazakhstan) (Seed ranking 2) and Aleksandra Krunic (Serbia) (Seed ranking 2) beat Ellen Perez (Australia) (Seed ranking 7) and Demi Schuurs (Netherlands) (Seed ranking 7). Danilina and Krunic took Set 1 6–2. They won Set 2 7–6, tie break 8–6, and Set 3 shows no score—no score.
Then a walkover added a sharp note to the day: Gabriela Dabrowski (Canada) and Evan King (United States) beat Cristina Bucsa (Spain) and Rafael Matos (Brazil) by walkover. The match listing shows Set 1 as no score—no score, Set 2 as no score—no score, and Set 3 as no score—no score.
The same event appears again in the coverage with the walkover stated plainly: Dabrowski (Can) and King (US) beat Bucsa (Spa) and Matos (Brz).
