2025 French Open seeds to have lost: Fritz, Tsitsipas and Navarro lead exits
Taylor Fritz remains the highest-seeded player to lose so far in the 2025 French Open while that “honour” goes to Emma Navarro in the women’s draw.
The fourth-seeded Fritz is one of 12 men’s seeds to have fallen in the opening few days of the clay-court Grand Slam with a few more second-round matches still to be completed.

American Fritz was the biggest casualty on the second day at Roland Garros as he was stunned by Daniel Altmaier on day one at the 2025 French Open.
Eleventh seed Daniil Medvedev was next to go as he was upset by Cameron Norrie while 16th seed Grigor Dimitrov retired with a thigh injury after the third set against Ethan Quinn.
The 21st-seeded Tomas Machac was another to quit midway during his match against Quentin Halys due to injury.

Two-time Roland Garros runner-up Casper Ruud is so far the highest seed to lose in the second round as he lost in four sets against Nuno Borges.

Alex de Minaur became the third top-10 seed to lose as he lost in five sets against Alexander Bublik on day five while 19th seed Jakub Mensik lost against Henrique Rocha and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (26) was beaten by Jiri Lehecka.
