An early upset occurred at the tennis tournament on Court Philippe-Chatrier as US tennis star Coco Gauff was defeated by Croatia's Donna Vekic with a score of 7-6(7) 6-2.
Gauff seemed to be in control during the first set, holding a 5-2 lead and even having a set point. However, the match took a turn as Vekic mounted a comeback, ultimately winning the first set in a tiebreak and then dominating the second set despite Gauff initially breaking her serve.
The match reached a tense moment when Gauff lost one of her breaks in the second set, leading to a heated discussion with the chair umpire. Despite the disruption, Vekic managed to turn the game in her favor by saving three break points in the following game, securing her victory over the favored Gauff.
With this win, Vekic advances to the quarterfinals where she will face the winner of the match between Greece's Maria Sakkari and Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk.
