Auger-Aliassime gives up two-set lead in French Open loss to Arnaldi
PARIS – Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime is out of the French Open after giving up a two-set lead in a 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 first-round loss to Italy's Matteo Arnaldi on Tuesday. Arnaldi, who roared back into contention after being soundly defeated in the second set, picked up his fourth and fifth breaks of the match in the final set. Auger-Aliassime saved three match points in the final game before his long return clinched the match for Arnaldi. The 36th-ranked Italian held serve throughout the final two sets, including Game 6 of the fifth when he faced double break point, to eliminate the 29th-seeded Auger-Aliassime. Auger-Aliassime, who had medical timeouts before the fourth and fifth sets to work on his left ankle, looked like he was headed for a convincing win. He picked up the first break of the match to go up 6-5 in the first set, then served to love to take a 1-0 lead. The Canadian carried that momentum into the second set, where he went up 4-0 by converting breaks in Games 1 and 3 and serving to love in Games 2 and 4, ultimately winning the set 6-2. But after Auger-Aliassime picked up his fourth break to open the third set, Arnaldi finally got to the Canadian's serve. The Italian scored breaks in the second and fourth games en route to taking the set 6-3. Arnaldi then tied the match 2-2 after converting the only break of the fourth set while looking increasingly confident on serve.

Auger-Aliassime, who entered the clay-court Grand Slam on a roll after reaching the semifinals of the Hamburg Open last week, failed to join fellow Canadians Gabriel Diallo and Denis Shapovalov in the second round. The farthest Auger-Aliassime has made it at Roland Garros is the fourth round, a feat he accomplished twice before losing to the eventual champion (Rafael Nadal in 2022, Carlos Alcaraz last year). Toronto's Victoria Mboko, the lone Canadian remaining in the women's singles draw, faces Belgium's Eva Lys in a second-round match Wednesday. Mboko won her Grand Slam main-draw debut with a 6-1, 7-6 (4) win over New Zealand's Lulu Sun in the opening round. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 27, 2025.

Canadian teen Mboko reaches final round of French Open qualifying
PARIS — Victoria Mboko advanced to the third round of French Open qualifying with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Kathinka von Deichmann on Thursday. The 18-year-old Canadian won 82 per cent of her first serves and converted six of seven break-point chances. Mboko overcame six double faults and fired the match's only ace, while von Deichmann committed nine double faults. She improved her season record to 39-5, with most of her wins coming on the lower-tier ITF World Tennis Tour circuit. The Toronto native is bidding to reach her first Grand Slam main draw and will face Slovenia's Kaja Juvan on Friday in the final round of qualifying. Mboko is looking to join four fellow Canadians — Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriel Diallo, both of Montreal, and Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont. — in the main singles draw at Roland-Garros. Fernandez, ranked No. 27 on the WTA Tour, will open against No. 34 Olga Danilovic of Serbia. Shapovalov enters as the top-ranked Canadian on the ATP Tour at No. 27 and will face Spain's Pedro Martinez in the first round.

All three Canadian men are in the same quarter of the draw, which also features No. 3 Alexander Zverev, No. 6 Novak Djokovic, No. 11 Daniil Medvedev and No. 16 Grigor Dimitrov. Fernandez and Diallo will also compete in doubles. Canada's top-ranked women's doubles player, Ottawa's Gabriela Dabrowski, is also slated to play along with doubles partner Erin Routliffe of New Zealand. But the reigning WTA Finals doubles champions withdrew from their semifinal at the warm-up Strasbourg Open on Thursday, with the WTA saying Dabrowski is dealing with a chest injury. Rob Shaw of North Bay, Ont., received a wild card into the wheelchair quad singles and doubles draws at Roland-Garros. Auger-Aliassime continued his preparation for the French Open with a 7-6 (4), 6-7 (6), 6-3 win over France's Alexandre Muller in the quarterfinals of the Hamburg Open. The sixth-seeded Auger-Aliassime had six aces and converted four of 12 break-point chances. Auger-Aliassime will face third-seed Andrey Rublev of Russia in the semifinals.
