Sixth-seeded Andrey Rublev faced a disappointing defeat in the French Open third round, losing to Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets. Rublev's performance was marred by 37 unforced errors and four double faults, leading to his outburst of frustration that included smashing his racket on his knee.
Despite his own criticism of his behavior, Arnaldi downplayed Rublev's actions, stating that such behavior was not uncommon for the Russian player. Arnaldi's victory over Rublev sets up a match against the winner of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Zhizhen Zhang.
