Bombshell: Medvedev crashes out against Walton in his debut at Roland Garros

Adam Walton has just pulled off the biggest upset of Roland Garros 2026 to date by eliminating Daniil Medvedev in the first round. The Russian tennis player had a break in his favor in the fifth set but lost concentration and fell dramatically 6-2 1-6 6-1 1-6 6-4. This marks Medvedev's seventh first-round loss, and this time it's one of the most painful defeats as it came against an opponent who had barely played any matches on the clay court season. Walton, on the other hand, will face Zachary Svajda in the second round.
