Follow live reaction from the sixth day at Roland Garros as the third round of the singles got underway in Paris

Reigning French Open tennis champ Carlos Alcaraz is back in action at the 2025 tournament with a third-round men’s singles match Friday night against Damir Dzumhur.

In the first French Open since Rafael Nadal’s retirement, Carlos Alcaraz is a strong favorite to defend his title in Paris as Spanish great Carlos Moyá tells CNN Sports.

Mark Petchey believes that Carlos Alcaraz ’s show of sportsmanship may have left Ben Shelton ‘offended’. The Spaniard was praised for conceding a point during his French Open fourth-round clash before going on to secure a 7-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory.

Roland-Garros quarterfinal action officially begins Tuesday and will feature both Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe, who are aiming to become the first American semifinalist at Roland-Garros since Andre Agassi in 1999.

Nadal has left an indelible mark on the French Open -- but Swiatek, Alcaraz and others may be able to carry the legacy.
