Italian Musetti advances to Roland Garros round of 16
Paris - Saba: Italian Lorenzo Musetti qualified for the round of 16 in the men's singles at the French Open (Roland Garros) after defeating Argentina's Mariano Navone on Friday in the third round. The eighth-seeded Musetti won the match in three sets to one, despite Navone taking the first set 6/4. Musetti turned the tables, securing the next three sets with scores of 6/4, 6/3, and 6/2. Meanwhile, Denmark's Holger Rune also advanced to the same stage after a hard-fought victory over France's Quentin Halys in five sets. Halys claimed the first set 6/4, but Rune bounced back to take the second 6/2. Although the Frenchman regained the lead by winning the third set 7/5, the Danish player dominated the final two sets 7/5 and 6/2. Additionally, Australia's Alexei Popyrin reached the round of 16 by defeating Portugal's Nuno Borges in straight sets, 6/4, 7/6, and 7/6. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Sabalenka, Zheng sizzle as temperatures soar at French Open
PARIS :World number one Aryna Sabalenka and Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen eased into the fourth round of the French Open while Lorenzo Musetti blew hot and cold on a scorching day at Roland Garros on Friday. Defending champion Iga Swiatek continued her bid for a fifth Roland Garros trophy when the fifth seed stayed calm on a steamy afternoon to beat Romania's Jaqueline Cristian while Holger Rune edged a brutal five-setter with France's Quentin Halys. Holder Carlos Alcaraz resumes his title defence against Bosnian Damir Dzumhur in the cool of the evening session. Sabalenka avoided the worst conditions but had to stave off a plucky Olga Danilovic to win 6-2 6-3 and continue her bid for a maiden Roland Garros title following major triumphs at the Australian and U.S. Opens. The three-time Grand Slam champion looked in ruthless form while racing ahead 5-0 but Danilovic avoided the bagel by taking the sixth game on serve and pulled a break back to give herself a small chance to come back. The resurgence did not last, however, as Sabalenka closed out the opening set with another break of serve and withstood another stern test in the second set to beat her 34th-ranked opponent from Serbia. "Olga's a fighter and I knew it was going to be a fight," Sabalenka said. "I enjoyed playing against her, she played like a top 10 player and I'm sure soon she'll be in the top 10. I enjoyed our battle and I'm super happy to be through this difficult match." Zheng, who won her biggest title at last year's Paris Olympics, continued her good form on the Roland Garros clay as the Chinese eighth seed moved into the second week by beating Grand Slam debutant Victoria Mboko 6-3 6-4 at Court Simonne Mathieu. That match was halted briefly when the 18-year-old Mboko was down 5-3 in the second set as a fan needed medical attention but Zheng ensured her momentum was not affected when play resumed and quickly dispatched the Canadian. Former semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova required treatment for a blister on her right hand before the American secured a 7-6(4) 6-4 victory over Denmark's Clara Tauson to reach the last 16 of the major where she announced herself in 2019. Anisimova, seeded 16th, takes on Sabalenka in the next round aiming to improve her 5-2 win-loss record against the Belarusian top seed. 'BIG HITTERS' "We're both big hitters, so I'm sure we're going to be going at it back and forth," Anisimova said. "Obviously she's one of the best right now. She's number one. I feel it's always a good matchup. I really enjoy the fight and the challenge she brings on. "I'm just looking forward to it. Hopefully I can bring my 'A' game. Hopefully it'll be a good match." Liudmila Samsonova will also expect to be fully tested when she meets Zheng after seeing off Dayana Yastremska 6-2 6-3. Swiatek extended her spectacular French Open winning streak to 24 matches after seeing off a spirited Jaqueline Cristian of Romania 6-2 7-5 as the temperature soared. "It was 20 degrees Celsius when I played my first match but today it was 30 degrees," Swiatek said. "It's not easy to adjust but I've played in every condition. Last year at the Olympics it was super hot, so I was ready." Up next for Swiatek is fellow Grand Slam champion Elena Rybakina, who ousted 2017 Roland Garros winner Jelena Ostapenko 6-2 6-2. Last year's runner-up Jasmine Paolini of Italy eased past Yuliia Starodubtseva 6-4 6-1 and could face another Ukrainian if Elina Svitolina can beat American Bernarda Pera. On the men's side, eighth seed Musetti dropped the opening set against Mariano Navone of Argentina before prevailing 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-2 while Rune emerged from a see-sawing battle against Halys with a 4-6 6-2 5-7 7-5 6-2 win. "It was a brutal match. He played really well. Massive respect to him," Rune said. "I tried to change things. The first set didn't go how I wanted it to. I had to put more spin on the ball because of the conditions. "The player who took the opportunities to be aggressive was the player who won today." Tommy Paul also won in five sets, the American 12th seed beating Russian Karen Khachanov 6-3 3-6 7-6(7) 3-6 6-3 while Australia's Alexei Popyrin got past Nuno Borges 6-4 7-6(11) 7-6(5).

Tennis-Musetti plays game of contrasts at French Open
Tennis - French Open - Roland Garros, Paris, France - May 30, 2025 Italy's Lorenzo Musetti celebrates after winning his third round match against Argentina's Mariano Navone REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes PARIS (Reuters) - Lorenzo Musetti has always been a player of contrasts — a mercurial talent whose beautiful, fluid game can light up a court one moment and unravel the next. Now, the Italian craftsman, seeded eighth at the French Open, concedes those contradictions are not just on the surface, but deeply rooted in his personality. After a tough outing at Roland Garros, the 23-year-old spoke openly about the internal battle that shapes both his tennis and his identity, describing himself as a man caught between instinct and discipline, sensitivity and grit. "I'm a very, very sensitive guy, and I get carried away by my emotions," Musetti told reporters. "Sometimes that instinct makes me do things on court I later hate watching back. But other times, that same instinct is what brings out the beauty in my game — the talent people talk about." The Italian's Tuscan hometown of Carrara, known for its marble quarries and for being one of the few places where the sea meets the Alps, mirrors this duality. "In Carrara, we say we're as tough as marble. Today didn't go the way I hoped, but I'm learning, and I'm trying to be both things — to weather storms like the sea, and to be as hard as marble when I need to be," he said after fighting from a set down to reach the fourth round. Musetti said that for much of his career, he's been accused of lacking the fight to match his flair — a perception he doesn't entirely deny. "People said I gave up too easily, that I didn't get my hands dirty. And for a while, that was partly true. But anyone who's followed me since I was a junior knows I've always had the will to suffer and fight, even if I complained too much along the way," he said. Now, as he matures on and off the court, the soon-to-be father of two acknowledges that learning to reconcile these two sides — the instinctive artist and the hardened competitor — is the key to his future success. "That double personality is part of who I am. The challenge is knowing when to listen to each side," he explained. Musetti is about to be tested for a place in the quarter-finals as he meets another mercurial player in Denmark's Holger Rune. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Christian Radnedge)
