Carlos Alcaraz had to work hard to defeat qualifier Jesper de Jong and advance to the French Open third round, despite an off-colour performance. Alcaraz twice came back from a break down in the fourth set to secure a 6-3 6-4 2-6 6-2 victory. Stefanos Tsitsipas also advanced to the next round after overcoming a third-set challenge, while Andrey Rublev won his match. Rain affected play on outside courts, and Jannik Sinner was set to face Richard Gasquet in the night session.
