Medvedev Upset at French Open

In the first major upset of the 2026 French Open, Australian wildcard Adam Walton has defeated sixth seed Daniil Medvedev in a grueling five-set match.

Walton, ranked world No. 97, capitalized on Medvedev's historical struggles on clay to secure his first-ever top-10 victory.

The Russian star appeared increasingly frustrated as the match progressed, eventually succumbing to Walton's consistent baseline play in the deciding set.

The result continues a trend of early exits for Medvedev at Roland Garros, where he has now failed to reach the second round in seven of his ten career appearances.
