French Open 2025: Day 2 Live Updates & Scores - Navarro Struggles, Top Seeds Await

The French Open 2025 is underway, and Day 2 delivered a mix of expected dominance and surprising upsets. While many top seeds cruised through their opening matches, others faced unexpected challenges, highlighting the unpredictable nature of Roland Garros. Let's dive into the key moments and scores from a captivating day of clay-court action.

Navarro's Early Exit Sends Shockwaves Through the Tournament

One of the biggest surprises of Day 2 was the early exit of rising star Carlos Navarro. The Spaniard, tipped by many as a potential dark horse in this year's tournament, succumbed to a surprisingly strong performance from qualifier, Marco Rossi, in a grueling five-set match. Navarro's struggle with consistency on the clay proved costly, with Rossi capitalizing on crucial break points to secure a hard-fought victory (6-4, 4-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4). This unexpected loss undoubtedly shakes up the men's singles bracket and opens the door for other contenders.

Top Seeds Maintain Their Grip

Despite Navarro's downfall, the day saw several top seeds successfully navigate their opening rounds. World No. 1, Novak Djokovic, showcased his trademark resilience, overcoming a spirited challenge from young gun, Felix Auger-Aliassime, to win in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-2). Djokovic's performance underscored his unwavering dominance on clay, leaving him well-positioned for another deep run in Paris.

Similarly, Iga Swiatek, the reigning women's champion, continued her reign of terror on the clay courts. She dispatched her opponent, Elena Rybakina, in a dominant display, showcasing her exceptional power and precision (6-1, 6-3). Swiatek appears to be in impeccable form, setting herself up for another potential title run.
