Indian-origin American tennis player Nishesh Basavareddy produced one of the biggest upsets of the French Open by defeating seventh seed Taylor Fritz in the first round at Roland Garros. The 21-year-old wildcard won 7-6(5), 7-6(5), 6-7(9), 6-1 on Court Suzanne-Lenglen to register his first career victory over a top-10 player. Basavareddy, ranked 148 in the world, remained composed throughout the four-set contest against world number nine Fritz, who recently returned from a knee injury layoff. The win marked Basavareddy’s first main-draw victory at the French Open and a major breakthrough in his young professional career.
