Tommy Paul has had so many winnable matches slip away at slams over the last few years, this time falling to Casper Ruud 7-5 in the 5th set. Brutal loss for TP. Is Casper the favorite to win RG now?

I watched the end of Tommy Paul Casper Ruud after which was an incredible match incredible comeback from Casper but felt BORING in comparison. What we saw from Djokovic Fonseca was just holy shit

Casper Ruud probably deserves more credit for being amazing, like how many times is that guy gonna come back from 2 sets down to win a slam match. He really is exceptionally good on clay. #FrenchOpen #tennis #🎾

Unreal how well #Ruud is still moving at 4h35m mark... he already has a 4-hour match under his belt from previous rounds. 6-5 in the fifth set vs #Paul #RolandGarros
