The Argentine tennis player Gustavo Fernández could not be crowned champion at Roland Garros when he fell in two sets in the final, in the wheelchair category, against the Japanese Tokito Oda.
The current champion managed to win 7-6 and 6-3, in a duel that was even more even than the scoreboard indicated. Although Fernández played an arduous first set, he ultimately came up empty-handed and was subsequently unable to repeat what he had done in the second set, when he ran out of energy.
Champion in 2016 and 2019, the man from Córdoba tried to win the title again but was surpassed by the 18-year-old young man. The Argentine, number 3 in the ranking, reached the definition in Paris for the sixth time in his career and two years after the last occasion, when he had been surpassed by the also Japanese Shingo Kuneda.
For his part, his rival repeated the title at Roland Garros and continues to surprise the world with unprecedented statistics for a player of his young age. Since 2023, with the exception of his fall in the first round of the US Open, the Japanese tennis player has won four of the last six Majors and reached the final in the remaining one.
