The 2025 French Open is well underway with plenty of top seeds falling before the quarter-final stage.
On the men’s side, fourth seed and last year’s US Open semi-finalist Taylor Fritz is the highest-ranked casualty so far, but defeat for two-time finalist Casper Ruud was perhaps the bigger shock after the injury-hit Norwegian was defeated by Portugal’s Nuno Borges.
Daniil Medvedev, the 11th seed, also made an early exit, losing in five sets to Cameron Norrie, though that was the second time in three years that the former US Open winner had gone out in the opening round at the Paris grand slam.
Fourth seed Jasmine Paolini is among the top-10 players to depart sooner than they would have hoped in the women’s draw, with the Italian passing up three match points on her way to defeat to Elina Svitolina. Also gone is Jessica Pegula, stunned by French wildcard Lois Boisson in the fourth round despite a difference of 358 places between the pair in the world rankings.
Ninth seed Emma Navarro was an early faller, meanwhile, failing to hold serve as she suffered a 6-0, 6-1 battering at the hands of Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in just 57 minutes in her first-round match.
