Tomas Martin Etcheverry defeated Arthur Cazaux 3–6, 6–2, 6–1, 6–4 in the first round of Roland Garros on clay on 28 May 2024, confirming his status as the pre-match favourite. Cazaux, at odds of 4.85, mounted early resistance by taking the opening set, but Etcheverry's superior form asserted itself thereafter as he won three consecutive sets with increasing dominance. The Argentine's progression through the middle sets, particularly the third-set bagel, demonstrated clinical execution on the clay court. Etcheverry's comfortable victory advances him to the second round and reinforces his standing as a clay-court competitor at the Grand Slam level.
