Djokovic Makes History, Walton's Giant-Killing Continues

Novak Djokovic carved yet another milestone into tennis history books at Roland Garros, becoming the first player ever to reach 120 matches at a single Grand Slam. The 37-year-old Serbian navigated a tricky second-round test against French wild card Valentin Royer, prevailing 6-3, 6-2, 6-7(9), 6-3 to extend his remarkable streak to 21 consecutive third-round appearances in Paris. Despite dropping a tight third set tiebreak, Djokovic remained composed in his pursuit of a 25th major title — celebrating his victory with his signature "violin" celebration. Meanwhile, Adam Walton proved his stunning Medvedev upset was no fluke, advancing deeper into the tournament and cementing his status as this year's dangerous floater after entering ranked No. 97.

Fonseca's Epic Rally, Coaching Drama Unfolds

Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca delivered the comeback of the tournament, clawing back from two sets down to defeat Dino Prizmic in an epic five-setter — becoming just the third teenager this century to achieve that feat at Roland Garros. The 19-year-old's first-ever comeback from 0-2 down showcases the mental fortitude that has scouts buzzing about his potential. In bizarre off-court drama, Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina publicly accused his coach Mariano Puerta of "abandoning" him mid-tournament, claiming the Argentine abruptly quit and flew to Miami during Roland Garros. The seeded Spaniard's premature exit was compounded by the controversy surrounding the sudden split with the former player who has been a divisive figure in tennis circles. Alexander Zverev, meanwhile, cruised past an injured Tomas Machac 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to notch his 550th tour-level victory — fifth-most among active players.
