Roland Garros 2020 - Day 9 Men’s Singles

Day Nine of Roland Garros 2020, and although Andrey Rublev (13) won in four sets against Marton Fucsovics, the Hungarian wasted opportunities to at least go close to winning.

Fucsovics won the opening set and served for the second set at 5-3 before losing the next four games and the set.

He led 3-1 in the third set, but was broken in his next three service games. 

In set four, he led 5-4 and had Rublev down 0-40, but saw those three set points evaporate, and his hopes with it.
