Richard Gasquet, at age 37, triumphed in what is likely his final French Open match, defeating Borna Coric 7-6(5), 7-6(2), 6-4. This victory marks his 21st Roland Garros appearance and equals Feliciano Lopez's Open Era record of 25 French Open main-draw appearances. Gasquet's performance was highlighted by his signature one-handed backhand, which clinched the match. He will face either Christopher Eubanks or Jannik Sinner in the second round. Gasquet played under the brand new pleated roof, captured in the photo of the day.
