Richard Gasquet defeated Terence Atmane 6–2, 2–6, 6–3, 6–0 in the first round of Roland Garros on clay on 26 May 2025, producing an upset victory against the pre-match favourite. Atmane entered as odds-on favourite at 1.58, with Gasquet priced at 2.55, yet the Frenchman reversed that expectation with a commanding performance across four sets. After dropping the second set, Gasquet reasserted control decisively, winning the final two sets without conceding more than three games. The result marks a significant statement from Gasquet on his favoured surface, while Atmane's early exit raises questions about consistency at the Grand Slam level.
