THE final 32 players in contention for the 2020 ATP Roland Garros fantasy tennis title have been decided with a massive upset occurring on day six of the competition. Sixth seed Greek up and comer, Stefanos Tsitsipas is out of contention after unseeded Slovenian clay courter Aljaz Bedene won in five thrilling sets. The match lasted three hours and 45 minutes before the Slovenian was able to celebrate, but he did so in style, ousting the world number six, 7-6 6-3 4-6 2-6 7-5.

In an identical result to the day before, all the remaining seeds made their way through to the next round meaning just seven unseeded players remain in Roland Garros. There was almost another boil over in the second round, with Swiss Master Roger Federer surviving a scare against Japanese Grand Slam winner Kei Nishikori. Federer eventually won 6-4 2-6 2-6 7-6 6-4 but had to come from two sets to one down in order to win. It was one of the five, five set matches, along with Russian Andrey Rublev’s come-from-behind victory over Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, 3-6 7-5 6-7 6-4 6-3.

The other five set match was a massive come-from-behind win by 11th seed David Goffin who had to fight back from two sets down to shake off Brazilian Thiago Monteiro. Goffin trailed Monteiro 6-3 6-3 after 80 minutes of game play, but little did the crowd know it would be another two and a half hours before the match ended, with the Belgian getting up 3-6 3-6 6-2 7-5 6-4. He joined ninth seed Gael Monfils in the next round after the Frenchman also came from a deficit to defeat Serbian qualifier, Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

It was easier for world number one Rafael Nadal, 19th seed Cristian Garin, up and comers Felix Auger-Aliassime and Casper Ruud, and veteran Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who all waltzed through to the next round in straight sets. Other winners were seeds, Diego Schwartzman, Fabio Fognini and Denis Shapovalov, as well as unseeded duo, Richard Gasquet and Italian Gianluca Mager.
