Jesper de Jong will never forget this Roland Garros 2026. The Dutch player fell in the final round of the qualifying stage, but a last-minute withdrawal from Arthur Fils allowed him to enter as a 'Lucky Loser', and since then, he has not stopped winning. First, he defeated Stan Wawrinka, followed by Federico Cina, and now it's Karen Khachanov who falls into the hands of the Dutch player with a score of 7-5, 5-7, 6-2, 6-7(2), 6-2, after four hours and 22 minutes. He will now continue to pursue his dream against the winner of Alexander Zverev and Quentin Halys.
