Adam Walton celebrates his victory over Daniil Medvedev in Paris on Tuesday

Daniil Medvedev’s wretched run at Roland Garros continued on Tuesday as the World No. 6 bowed out in the first round once again in stunning fashion, losing to Australian wildcard Adam Walton in five sets in an astonishing contest on the Suzanne-Lenglen Court.

The former US Open champion was outplayed by Walton 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 in three hours and 22 minutes on the clay and claimed the biggest win of his career, as well as his first over a top-10 player. It was Medvedev’s seventh first-round exit at the French Open in 10 visits and leaves him with a dismal 0-4 record in five-set encounters at Roland Garros.
