French Open 2026 live updates: Quarterfinals latest as Mensik takes first set against Fonseca

Menšík 6-4, 1-1* Fonseca

João Fonseca shows one of his first signs of frustration, spinning his racket in annoyance after an error sees Jakub Menšík go 15-0 up.

Indeed, he takes that anger into the next point, crashing a searing forehand beyond his opponent.

In the first set, by the way, Fonseca hit a 115mph/185kph forehand, which was the fastest of the tournament so far.

It is a fascinating match-up between Fonseca’s forehand, which is clearly better, and Menšík’s serve, which is clearly better.

Ace from Menšík, 40-15, and the next return sails long. Hold.
