Six Argentine tennis players are through to the Roland Garros 2026 second round, after the tournament set off on Sunday.
The second tennis major of the season saw wins for Marco Trungelliti, Thiago Tirante, Francisco Cerúndolo, Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Mariano Navone in the men’s singles and Solana Sierra in the women’s.
Tomas Etcheverry, the top-ranked Argentine in the men’s rankings, is the only Argentine ousted so far.
The top-ranked Argentine remaining in the tournament — 26th in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings — Cerúndolo secured a hard-fought victory over Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp (55) by 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (9), 6-4 on Monday. He’ll face France’s Hugo Gaston (118) on Thursday.
Navone (38), who’s fresh off reaching the Geneva Open final the previous week, confirmed his good form by beating United States player Jenson Brooksby by 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 36 minutes.
