Sinner and Djokovic Advance as Gasquet Bids Emotional Farewell at French Open

Posted : 30 May 2025

Day five at the French Open delivered a mixture of drama, emotion, and top-tier performances. While Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic advanced in straight sets, the day also featured intense five-set clashes and surprising exits of two top-20 seeds. Sinner, ranked world number one, ended the long and storied career of French veteran Richard Gasquet with a dominant display, while Djokovic overcame a minor injury scare to defeat Corentin Moutet.
 

Sinner’s victory was clinical, as he dispatched Gasquet 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 to book his spot in the third round. The 38-year-old Gasquet, who made his Roland Garros debut in 2002, received a warm farewell from the home crowd and was honored with a commemorative trophy. He thanked the fans during an emotional ceremony, expressing gratitude for ending his career on the court he considers the most beautiful in the world.

 
Djokovic, the sixth seed and a three-time French Open champion, faced some discomfort during his 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) win due to a blister on his left foot. The issue flared up in the third set, requiring a medical timeout, but he regained control to close out the match. Djokovic, fresh from winning his 100th ATP title in Geneva, now turns his focus to a third-round meeting with Austria’s Filip Misolic, who upset 27th seed Denis Shapovalov in five sets.

 
Elsewhere, Germany’s Alexander Zverev recovered from a slow start to defeat Jesper de Jong in four sets. While the top seeds pushed forward, the day also highlighted the depth of competition in the men’s draw, with unseeded players forcing long battles and reshaping the tournament’s trajectory. As the second week approaches, the intensity continues to build at Roland Garros.
