Round 1 of Roland Garros 2025 delivered—and we’re breaking it all down.

From Gael Monfils lighting up Chatrier to a wave of early upsets (Fritz! Cerundolo! Navarro!), Anastasia and Nick cover the most surprising results, wildest crowd moments, and best performances of the opening round.

They also dive into:

• Medvedev’s mid-match string change

• Hailey Baptiste’s biggest win to date

• Ethan Quinn’s unexpected advancement

• The rise of Victoria Mboko and Alex Eala’s doubles run

• Iga Swiatek’s statement start

Plus, they reveal their top must-watch match picks for Round 2—and yes, one involves a certain Monfils successor.
