#RolandGarros2025

Alexei Popyrin battles Nuno Borges at Roland Garros 2025, aiming for a historic fourth-round berth as Australia`s last man standing.

On the vibrant courts of Stade Roland Garros, Alexei Popyrin stands as Australia’s last hope in the singles draw, ready to battle Portugal`s Nuno Borges in a pivotal third-round clash. This match is not just another step; it’s a chance for Popyrin to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for only the second time in his career.

Having already eclipsed his previous best at Roland Garros, Popyrin`s journey has been marked by resilience and skill. He advanced after former top-25 player Yoshihito Nishioka retired due to a back injury, the score reading 7-5, 6-4, 1-2. In his second-round match, Popyrin showcased his prowess against Alejandro Tabilo, delivering a stunning performance with 37 winners and eight aces, a testament to his improved clay court game and unwavering confidence.

With Alex de Minaur`s Grand Slam streak abruptly ending earlier in the week and Adam Walton bowing out to Andrey Rublev, Popyrin carries the weight of Australian hopes on his shoulders. As Tennis Australia reflects on the legacy of legends like Ken Rosewall and Margaret Court, Popyrin’s quest embodies the spirit of Australian tennis, aiming to carve his name into history at Roland Garros 2025.
