Jesper de Jong is making the most of his entry into Roland Garros 2026 as a Lucky Loser after the last-minute withdrawal of Arthur Fils. The Dutchman has advanced to the third round of the Parisian major after defeating Federico Cina 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. This makes him the seventh player in the history of the tournament, since 1990, to enter as a Lucky Loser and reach the third round.
