French Open 2025: Alexei Popyrin wins, Ajla Tomljanovic loses
New Australian Daria Kasatkina is the lone female alive at the French Open after Ajla Tomljanovic's defeat as Alexei Popyrin declared he can 'beat anybody' after powering into the third round with the draw now in his favour. Popyrin, the boys' champion at Roland Garros in 2017, ended a six-year opening-round losing streak before taking down Chile's Alejandro Tabilo in straight sets and is riding all sorts of confidence going into his match with Portugal's world No.41 Nune Borges. The draw has opened up for Popyrin, the 25th seed, after Borges took down two-time finalist Casper Ruud. 'I've always had that confidence. On my day I can beat anybody, but that's not important to me. What's important to me is bringing a consistent level day in, day out,' Popyrin said. 'That's what I've struggled with in the past.' Alexei Popyrin is confident of a deep run at the French Open. Picture:Popyrin was the first Australian into the third round with compatriots Adam Walton, Alex de Minaur and Kasatkina still to play their second-round matches. But Tomljanovic, who took out fellow Aussie Maya Joint in the opening round, failed in her centre court appearance, losing with a double-fault to round out a lacklustre effort against No.4 seed Jasmine Paolin, going down 6-3, 6-3. Tomljanovic, 32, conceded she didn't find her 'A game' when it mattered most but said she would leave Paris 'optimistic' 'It was a tough performance out there,' she said. Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic bowed out in straight sets. Picture: Julien De Rosa / AFP 'My dad (coach Ratko) used to say 'we've got 12 more of those grand slams you can play'. And now I know it's not 12 anymore, the number is smaller. 'There were still moments where I played some good points, good games, and I definitely leave Paris feeling optimistic with happy memories again.' Read related topics: French Open

O'Brien defends Ponga resting as Dragons down Knights
Adam O'Brien says he overruled Kalyn Ponga and sat Newcastle's captain out of their 20-6 NRL loss at the hands of St George Illawarra for his own good. O'Brien said he took the decision out of Ponga's hands after the Knights fullback played for Queensland in the State of Origin opener on Wednesday. The Newcastle captain has been carrying an ankle ailment for the past three weeks and was ruled out of Friday's game at Jubilee Oval an hour before kick-off. Without their captain, Newcastle lacked spark and they didn't cross the line until the 70th minute when edge forward Kai Pearce-Paul crashed over, as Clint Gutherson led the Dragons to a comprehensive victory. "He was doing everything he could (to play), I took the decision away from him because it's the right thing to do," O'Brien said of Ponga. "It's the type of injury that takes a few days to settle down. Two days is not enough. "He's disappointed, a little bit angry with me but again we've got to protect him." O'Brien said the NRL's scheduling had added to Newcastle's woes after they were kept scoreless in a first half for the seventh time this season. The Dragons led 18-0 by halftime and could have been accused of failing to turn the screw against a Knights side lacking direction. Jaydn Su'A got the Red V rolling with a 20th minute try before the would-be Queensland back-rower succumbed to an ankle injury. But it didn't knock the Dragons off course, with Shane Flanagan's pack finding plenty of joy up the middle. First a rampaging Jack de Belin run was the catalyst for the workaholic captain Gutherson to cross before Damien Cook sent man mountain Loko Pasifiki Tonga over for his first NRL try. "We took our opportunities when we needed to, and defended well - we only missed two tackles in the first half," Flanagan said. "The second half was going that way. It was a bit of an arm wrestle, and then we get on top of them." The Dragons added a second-half penalty through Valentine Holmes and should have added more tries only for Holmes and Tyrell Sloan to drop balls over the line. Pearce-Paul crashed in for the Knights' only score of the evening with 10 minutes left. Rugby sevens convert Nathan Lawson made his NRL debut for the Dragons and didn't look out of place by chalking up 176m from 17 carries on the left wing. "He's just that type of personality, I don't want to play him down at all - he's not a flashy type of player, he's a real tradesman," Flanagan said. Flanagan was confident Su'A's injury would not be a long-term issue but the ankle complaint will likely deny the edge forward a chance at a Queensland recall.
