Former French Open runner-up Tsitsipas loses in second round at Roland-Garros
- Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 26-year-old 20th seed, lost in the second round of the 2025 French Open on May 28 in Paris to Italian qualifier Matteo Gigante.
- Tsitsipas entered this tournament amid questions over his coaching and equipment changes, following early exits including a recent first-round loss at the Australian Open.
- Tsitsipas struggled with his execution, wasting 11 of 13 break points and committing 49 unforced errors as Gigante, ranked 167 and making his first major match win, played aggressively.
- The match ended 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in just over three hours, with Tsitsipas acknowledging Gigante’s impressive play while admitting he must "use his experience a little bit more wisely."
- Tsitsipas’ early exit marks his earliest French Open defeat since 2018 and will likely result in him falling outside the top 20 rankings after the tournament concludes.
