Live | Roland-Garros 2025: Rafael Nadal bids farewell to the tournament at Porte d'Auteuil; Frenchman Valentin Royer plays the fifth set

The Colombian has three match points.

The Habs are guilty of several gross fouls at the worst possible times. Galan will now serve to try to close out the match after 4 hours and 24 minutes of play.

A long ball on the Frenchman's forehand gave Galan two break points to lead 6 games to 5.

The two players are back to back, five games all! Valentin Royer is going to serve.

Valentin Royer, No. 120 ATP, scored 14 aces (against 15 for his opponent)

Successfully completed 55% of his first serves

Was guilty of 6 double faults

Won 174 points (against 169 for Galan)

The Marseillaise rings out on court number 6 as the Frenchman leads in the fifth set! Score: 6-7[8], 3-6, 6-3, 7[7]-6, 5-4.

The Tricolore is serving in this fifth set, after winning the fourth set in a tiebreak. The two players are perfectly even: 3 games all in this fifth and final set.

We switch from France 2 to France 3 to continue watching Roland-Garros. A smooth and well-managed switch, we feel like we're at the beginning of the fortnight and still fresh.

A live World Sports broadcast without the famous #JSUL is no longer a real live broadcast. So, we're sticking to our habits for this fortnight of Roland-Garros, and we invite you to caption this photo of American Peyton Stearns. The caption must be as fun as possible, and your message must contain #JSUL to be considered. We'll then select the best descriptions. Good luck to everyone.

Imagine our state of form! Right now, with this great afternoon, I'd be ready to run a 400m hurdles (my personal obsession).

Tempers can sometimes flare, but it's true that we've never seen anyone get tackled live. Although this little ball boy took a real beating.

Italy's Jasmine Paolini, seeded No. 4 and last year's finalist, enters the tournament against China's Yue Yuan, No. 87 in the WTA rankings. So far, the Italian is on a roll: she easily won the first set (6-1) and is leading into the second set.

Valentin Royer takes a fifth set after 3 hours and 41 minutes of play in his first appearance in the main draw. Everything will come down to this final act! A victory would see him join his compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who already qualified for the second round earlier in the afternoon. As a reminder, the Frenchman faces Daniel Elahi Galan, world number 122.

Monaco is 27-21 ahead midway through the second quarter! We'll keep an eye on it. Chef Clément is writing a story about it and not missing a beat of the European final.

Enough to get back on track and take the match to a fifth set.

There's a great atmosphere on Court 6! The French fans are cheering on the Parisian. The score is now 5-2. If the Frenchman wins, the two players will play a deciding fifth set.

Valentin Royer is off to a good start in this decisive game. As a reminder, the tie-break or deciding game separates two players who are tied in a set (6-6). This "deciding game" is scored differently from other games. Points are counted from zero to seven, and the first player to reach seven points and be two points ahead of their opponent wins the set.

Yes, sir! The Frenchman finds his second wind and holds on in this tight fourth set. It's time for the tiebreaker!

After levelling the score, Frenchman Valentin Royer was held to a blank on the Colombian's serve... It's tough. Score: 6-7[8], 3-6, 6-3, 5-6.
