Mira Andreeva displayed the dominance display of tennis and took the first set 6-3 against Yulia Putintseva in the round of 32 on day 7 of French Open.

Menawhile, Daria Kasatkina too took the first set 6-1 upseting Paula Badosa, who looked a bit dizzy today in her agressive display of tennis which was countered with defence by Kasatkina.

Paula Badosa is scripting a comeback here in the second set after losing the first set 1-6 against Daria Kasatkina. The agressive nature of play, which is suited to Badosa was well on display in the second set, which was lacking in the first set. Currently, the set is balanced 3-3 in the second set.

Marketa Vondrousova stunned third seed Jessica Pegula by taking the first set 6-3 in just 38 minutes. The Czech left-hander was dominant on her forehand and quickly raced to a 2-0 lead. While Pegula showed glimpses of a comeback, her frequent net errors and inconsistency proved costly, allowing Vondrousova to close out the set with authority.

World Number 1 Jannik Sinner starts strongly against J.Lehecka to take initial lead of 3-0 with a dominant display of forehand and across the court game.

Jannik Sinner dominated the opening set 6-0 against Jiri Lehecka with a flawless display of forehands, sharp cross-court winners, and clever drop shots. Lehecka looked off-rhythm, committing frequent net errors and struggling to respond to Sinner’s aggressive play, especially on the counter-attack.

After dropping the first set, Jessica Pegula mounted a strong comeback to level the match, taking the second set 6-4 against Marketa Vondrousova. The third seed recovered from a 3-4 deficit, showcasing her trademark backhand precision and composure under pressure. Pegula upped the tempo in the latter stages, breaking Vondrousova at a crucial moment and sealing the set with confident counter-attacking play to force a decider.

Despite displaying her trademark resilience and emotional intensity, Paula Badosa’s Roland Garros 2025 campaign ended in the third round with a 6-1, 7-5 defeat to Daria Kasatkina. Battling through physical discomfort and a flurry of unforced errors, Badosa struggled to match Kasatkina’s consistency and clever shot placement. While the Spaniard raised her level in the second set and pushed Kasatkina deep, the Russian held her nerve in key moments to close out the match in 1 hour and 34 minutes, ending Badosa’s spirited run on Court Simonne-Mathieu.

Top seed Jannik Sinner took the second set with a commanding 6-0, 6-1, win over Czech Republic's Jiri Lehecka. Displaying clinical control from the baseline and dominating with his forehand and cross-court play, Sinner dismantled Lehecka. The Italian barely gave his opponent room to breathe, converting six of his ten break points while committing just 11 unforced errors in the entire match. Lehecka, unable to counter Sinner’s pace or precision, struggled with consistency and never found rhythm, winning just three games in the lopsided affair.

Third seed Jessica Pegula staged a brilliant comeback to defeat Marketa Vondrousova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a gripping third-round clash at Roland Garros 2025. After dropping the first set in just 38 minutes, Pegula recalibrated her game, relying on her rock-solid backhand and improved net play to claw back into the match. Vondrousova, who started strong with clinical forehands and early breaks, gradually lost momentum as Pegula’s consistency wore her down. In the decider, Pegula raced ahead with two crucial breaks, sealing the contest in 1 hour and 52 minutes to book her spot in the Round of 16.

Top seed Jannik Sinner delivered a clinical performance to storm into the fourth round of Roland Garros 2025 with a commanding 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 win over Czech Jiri Lehecka on Court Suzanne-Lenglen. Dominant from the baseline and razor-sharp with his forehands and cross-court angles, Sinner barely put a foot wrong throughout the match. Lehecka, struggling to find rhythm and plagued by unforced errors, never looked comfortable as Sinner dictated play with aggressive intent and exceptional movement. The Italian needed just 1 hour and 34 minutes to seal the win, underlining his title credentials in emphatic fashion.

Meanwhile, Jake Draper and Alexander Zverev have both won their first sets in their respective games. Draper beat Fonsesca of Brazil 6-2 while Zverev downed Cobolli with the same margin.

Alexander Zverev sails into the fourth round. The third seed beats Italy's Flavio Cobolli in straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (4), 6-1 to advance. Zverev will next face Netherland's Tallon Griekspoor, who beat America's Ethan Quinn in a five-setter earlier today.

Second seed Coco Gauff makes a sparkling start to her third-round match against Marie Bouzkova at Court Philippe Chatrier. The American wins the first set 6-1 and then breaks Bouzkova's serve straight away to take a 2-0 lead in the second set.

Action will heat up tomorrow, with a number of eye-catching matches lined up. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz faces 13th seed Ben Shelton and No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti takes on 10th-ranked Holger Rune in men's singles, while holder Iga Swiatek meets 12th seed Elena Rybakina and No. 4 Jasmine Paolini is up against 13th-ranked Elina Svitolina in the women's section.

In an all-British battle, Cameron Norrie is taking on Jacob Fearnley at Court Simonne-Mathieu. Norrie takes the first set 6-3 and then breaks Fearnley's serve right away to lead 2-0 in the second.

Coco Gauff prevails in the second-set tiebreak against Marie Bouzkova. The American second seed wins it 7-3 to take the set 7-6 and win the match 6-1, 7-6 (3). She thus enters the second week for the fifth consecutive time at Roland Garros, and will next face Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova in the fourth round.

Seventh seed Madison Keys battles past the 31st-ranked Sofia Kenin to win 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in the third round. The American shrugs off a one-set deficit to prevail eventually and set up a fourth-round meeting with compatriot Hailey Baptiste.

Cameron Norrie has taken a two-set lead against compatriot Jacob Fearnley in the men's singles third round. Norrie is ahead 6-3, 7-6 (1), 1-0 and appears primed to advance unless Fearnley does something out of the ordinary. Later, in the night session, Novak Djokovic takes on Austria's Filip Misolic.
