Félix Auger-Aliassime, seeded No. 4, reached the Round of 16 at Roland Garros 2026 in Paris. The Canadian's progression through the third round placed him among the tournament favourites as several top seeds faltered in the opening week.
Who was eliminated from the tournament?
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz did not compete at Roland Garros 2026 due to a wrist injury that also ruled him out of Wimbledon. According to 101 Great Goals, the world No. 2 was unable to pursue a third consecutive title at the clay-court Grand Slam. Jannik Sinner, who lost last year's final to Alcaraz in five sets, was the strong favourite but withdrew after illness and spurned a two-set lead to lose to unseeded Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round, per the same source.
How did the women's draw shape up?
Aryna Sabalenka, seeded No. 1, advanced decisively by defeating Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 7-5 in the third round. Naomi Osaka, seeded No. 16, also progressed, defeating Iva Jovic 7-6(7/5), 6-7(3/7), 6-4 in a tight three-set contest. Coco Gauff, the previous year's champion, exited in the third round after losing to Anastasia Potapova.
What other notable results occurred?
Jakub Mensik, seeded No. 26, defeated Andrey Rublev 6-3, 7-6(8/6), 4-6, 2-6, 6-3 in the fourth round. Joao Fonseca, seeded No. 28, beat Casper Ruud 7-5, 7-6(10/8), 5-7, 6-2. Alexander Zverev, seeded No. 2, advanced with a 7-6(7/3), 6-4, 6-1 victory over Jesper de Jong. Frances Tiafoe, seeded No. 19, also progressed in the men's draw.
The Round of 16 matches were scheduled to begin on Monday, June 1.
