Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! World number one Sinner had no trouble in seeing off the 38-year-old Gasquet, playing at the tournament for the 22nd and final time, 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 in under two hours. Sinner made his comeback from a three-month doping ban at the Italian Open earlier in May, reaching the final before losing in straight sets to reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz. 'Jitesh Sharma was spectacular': Mayank Agarwal after RCB's win vs LSG He was in fine form against Gasquet, saving three break points to serve out the first set before dominating the rest of the match on Court Philippe Chatrier. "I'm very happy to be in the third round," Sinner told the crowd after setting up a third-round meeting with Czech Jiri Lehecka. "Thank you for being very fair with me today, I know what was at stake... It's your (Gasquet's) moment. Congrats on an amazing career." Djokovic, fresh off his 100th ATP title last weekend, got his tilt at a fourth French Open crown off to a solid start on Tuesday. The Serbian sixth seed will need to be on his guard against crafty Frenchman Corentin Moutet. "I don't know how many more Grand Slams I've got left in my body," Djokovic said after the opening round. Third seed Alexander Zverev bounced back from losing the first set in a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 win over Dutchman Jesper de Jong. Quiz: Who's that IPL player?

Czech teenager Jakub Mensik, the Miami Open champion, also suffered a collapse from two sets up in a 2-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 defeat by Grand Slam debutant Henrique Rocha of Portugal. Home hope Arthur Fils narrowly avoided suffering a similar fate though. The 14th seed fought back from a break down in the deciding set to grab a dramatic 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/4), 2-6, 0-6, 6-4 victory over Spaniard Juame Munar on a raucous Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Andreeva is playing her first Grand Slam as a top-10 seed after capturing WTA 1000 series titles in Dubai and Indian Wells. "I'm just happy that I stayed calm during the match, and I'm happy that I overcame some little difficulties throughout the match," said the teenager. Third seed Jessica Pegula beat fellow American Ann Li 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) and will face former Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova in the third round after the Czech's win over Magdalena Frech.

Josh Hazlewood or Nuwan Thusara? Tom Moody explains RCB dilemma before Qualifier 1
Former Australia batter and coach Tom Moody believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face a valid dilemma when selecting their playing XI for the crucial Qualifier 1 clash against Punjab Kings on May 29—especially regarding the overseas pace combination between Josh Hazlewood and Nuwan Thusara. After Thusara's impressive spell against Lucknow Super Giants, Moody feels it will be tough for RCB to ignore the Sri Lanka pacer, and they might even consider fielding both Thusara and Hazlewood on IPL 2025 kicks off its playoffs phase with RCB taking on PBKS in Qualifier 1—which offers a direct ticket to the final in Ahmedabad—there is considerable speculation around the possible XI, especially following Hazlewood's return from injury. The Australian pacer has been RCB's highest wicket-taker this season with 18 scalps but missed the last three matches due to a shoulder issue. His comeback for this crunch fixture has sparked excitement amongst the to ESPNcricinfo, Moody explained that RCB will find it difficult to overlook Thusara's potential against PBKS's formidable batting line-up. He even suggested the team could field both Hazlewood and Thusara, possibly at the expense of Romario Shepherd. Moody pointed out that Thusara's ability to provide variety and pressure in the pace department makes him a valuable inclusion—particularly after his 1/26 spell in a high-pressure match against LSG, where most bowlers went for "There will definitely be a discussion — no doubt about that. Thusara was brilliant in the last game, and of course, we know what Hazlewood brings to the table and what his record stands you can almost guarantee that he's coming into the side," Moody said."The question is whether they opt for both those overseas players and maybe look at someone like Romario Shepherd sitting out. That could allow them to play another Indian batter — not necessarily a top-order one — or possibly have someone like Suyash (Kumar) make way," he absence had seen Lungi Ngidi step in for two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, before Ngidi left to join South Africa's Test squad for the World Test Championship Final starting June 11. Thusara then entered the playing XI and impressed, especially in a match where RCB bowlers struggled to contain LSG by conceding 227, but still managed a six-wicket win to book their spot in Qualifier inclusion of Thusara could also ease Hazlewood's load—who was RCB's go-to man before his injury layoff. However, Moody's suggestion to bench Romario Shepherd for this combination is a bold one, given Shepherd's impact with the bat in RCB's big finishes this layer of complexity lies in Tim David's availability. The Australian all-rounder missed the last game due to a pre-existing niggle, and his status for Qualifier 1 remains uncertain.

Watch: Digvesh Rathi Teases Virat Kohli While Bowling, Leaves RCB Star In Splits
Royal Challengers Bengaluru's big victory over Lucknow Super Giants will definitely go down as the one of the most memorable moment of IPL 2025. Asked to bat first, LSG posted a huge total of 227/3 in 20 overs with skipper Rishabh Pant smashing 118* off 61 balls. Later, RCB stole the momentum as their stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma played an unbeaten knock of 85 off 33 balls and took his side across the line with six wickets and eight balls in hand. During RCB's run chase, a hilarious moment took place when the star batter Virat Kohli faced the controversial LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi. In the 11th over, Digvesh, who is famous for his viral notebook style celebration after taking a wicket, said something to Kohli before delivering the ball. Digvesh's words were muted but they left Kohli in splits as the RCB veteran laughed and the game continued. Flashbacks @imVkohli — Daksh. (@DakshVkf) May 28, 2025 Notably, Digvesh was fined several times by the BCCI for his controversial celebration. After repeated warnings, a stern action action was taken against him and he was banned from LSG's previous game against Gujarat Titans. During the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Digvesh indulged in a heated argument with batter Abhishek Sharma, following which, the banned was imposed on him. Jitesh Sharma conjured up a rollicking unbeaten 85 to propel Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to an unprecedented feat that no team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has accomplished before. Playing their last league match of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, RCB orchestrated a compelling six-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants. After completing a 228-run target heist with eight balls to spare, the touring party gunned down their highest successful chase and the third-highest total in IPL history. After finishing second in the group standings, Bengaluru has booked a date with Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 on Thursday, while Gujarat will square off against Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator on Friday.
