Canada's Auger-Aliassime gives up 2-set lead in French Open loss to Italy's Arnaldi
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. Arnaldi next faces another Italian, No. 26 Flavio Cobolli. 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.

Birthday boy Djokovic avenges Arnaldi loss, reaches Geneva Open semi-finals
GENEVA, May 23 — Novak Djokovic overcame soggy conditions on his 38th birthday to beat Matteo Arnaldi yesterday and reach the Geneva Open semi-finals in a tune-up event for Roland Garros. The former world number one retrieved a break in the second set to claim a 6-4, 6-4 win over the 39th-ranked Italian who dumped him out at the first hurdle in Madrid last month. Djokovic is hunting the 100th title of his career on the eve of the French Open having not won a tournament since capturing Olympic gold in Paris last August. 'It's great to be in the semi-finals again. Last year I played the semi-finals. Hopefully this year I can go at least a step further. That's the goal,' said Djokovic. Djokovic, who received a wild card to play in Geneva after skipping Rome, will meet British qualifier Cameron Norrie for a place in Saturday's final. The 24-time Grand Slam champion had not won a match on clay this season after also losing his Monte Carlo opener at the start of April to Alejandro Tabilo. A single break early in the first set enabled Djokovic to take control, but the sixth-ranked Serbian had to rally from 4-1 down in the second. He drew audible gasps from the crowd when he grabbed his right knee after stretching for a shot in the fifth game. But Djokovic, who had surgery last year to repair a torn meniscus suffered at the French Open, quickly rebounded and let out a mighty roar as he broke to go 5-4 ahead before putting away Arnaldi. He said an angry outburst after dropping serve helped him reset as he won the final five games. 'I think I'm playing really, really good tennis,' said Djokovic, who was presented on court with a chocolate cake topped with sparklers after his victory. 'Today it was a lot of tension on the court. A straight-sets win but it was much closer than maybe the score indicates. 'I was 4-1 down in the second. Somehow after that racquet breaking I didn't lose a game and kind of found my optimal state and balance, mentally and emotionally.' Norrie ousted Australian fifth seed Alexei Popyrin 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 in the day's last quarter-final. Hubert Hurkacz put out top seed Taylor 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) earlier and will play Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner in the other semi-final. The 128th-ranked Ofner came from behind to beat fourth seed Karen Khachanov 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. — AFP

"I think I'm playing really good tennis. A straight-sets win, but it was much closer than the score indicates." After taking the first set, Djokovic trailed 4-1 in the second but stormed back with five consecutive games to seal the win in one hour and 40 minutes. The former world No. 1 admitted that smashing his racket in frustration helped him reset mentally and close out the match in straight sets. "After the racquet breaking I kind of found my optimal state and balance mentally and emotionally to be able to play my best tennis when it was most needed," Djokovic, who was presented with a birthday cake on court, said. Djokovic is bidding to become only the third man in history to win 100 ATP titles, after Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103).
