French Open LIVE: Latest updates and scores as Mirra Andreeva and Maja Chwalinska battle for title

Matteo Arnaldi withdraws from French Open semi-final after suffering from virus

Matteo Arnaldi has withdrawn before taking to the court for his French Open semi-final against compatriot Flavio Cobolli, allowing the 10th seed a walkover into the final.

The 25-year-old said he “can’t move, can’t eat and can’t drink” after coming down with illness overnight.

Unseeded Arnaldi was the lowest-ranked man to reach the last four at Roland-Garros since 1997 off the back of a stunning run, in which he spent nearly 20 hours on court over a gruelling two weeks.

Britain’s Henry Patten and partner Harri Heliovaara fall short in French Open men’s doubles final

The first of today’s finals is over: Briton Henry Patten and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara fell to a straight-sets defeat in the French Open men’s doubles final, although they will still be crowned joint world No 1 for the first time in Monday’s updated rankings.

The second seeds were bidding for their third major title together and to go one step closer to completing the career grand slam, after winning Wimbledon in 2024 and the Australian Open last season.

But they were distinctly second best in Saturday’s final, losing to top seeds and defending champions Marcel Granollers of Spain and Argentina’s Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-2. It made for their third grand slam title together, after the French Open and the US Open last year.
