Duckworth Chasing Rare Paris Run
James Duckworth moved into the second round at the French Open after his opponent Gabriel Diallo retired while trailing by a set and 1-4. With the result, Duckworth snapped a five-match losing streak against top-50 opponents.
This was only Duckworth’s second main-draw victory at Roland Garros in nine appearances. His previous best result came in 2021 when he also reached the second round before losing to Ricardas Berankis in four sets.
The 34-year-old struggled badly during the opening months of the season, winning only three matches in the first three months. However, he regained momentum with back-to-back Challenger finals in San Luis Potosi and Mexico City and now looks to build on that confidence in Paris.

Jodar Continues Breakthrough Rise
Rafael Jodar opened his French Open debut campaign with a dominant straight-sets victory over Aleksandar Kovacevic, winning 6-1, 6-0, 6-4. He saved the only break point he faced and converted six of his 12 break opportunities during the match.
The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season despite having almost no experience at this level before 2026. He has now won at least two matches in each of his last five tournaments, including four consecutive quarterfinal appearances that highlight his rapid improvement.
Jodar made his Grand Slam debut earlier this year at the Australian Open, where he lost to Jakub Mensik in straight sets. With growing confidence and strong form on clay, he now looks to continue his run in Paris.
