This Roland Garros 2026 will be forever remembered for the almost epic experiences in each match and the density of matches resolved in five sets. Proof of this is that, without having completed the round of 16, 30 five-set matches have been played, only 3 matches away from equaling the historical record of Roland Garros set in 1992, and closing in on the overall record in Grand Slam events, held by Wimbledon 2024 with 37 matches resolved in the fifth set.
