Upset Trend Continues At Roland Garros As Collignon Stuns Shelton
Argentine Roman Andres Burruchaga: Raphael Collignon has ensured just one top-eight seed remains in a wide-open top half of the men’s singles after humbling fifth seed Ben Shelton to reach the third round at Roland-Garros.
On a day when world No.1 Jannik Sinner was sent packing in a five-set boilover, the unseeded 24-year-old derailed the American’s bid with a 6-4, 7-5, 6-4.
The two-hour, three-minute victory, in which Collingnon claimed 43 of 49 first-serve points and never faced a break point, made the world No.62 the first Belgian to land a top-five win at a major since coach Darcis stunned Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon 13 years ago, French Open reports.
