French Open 2026 live updates: Day 7 latest with Osaka, Sabalenka and Gauff in action today – The Athletic

Iva Jović (17) 6-7(5) Naomi Osaka (16)

For most of the opening set, it’s Jović who has taken control of extended points, but as the opening stanza heads into a tiebreak the 18-year-old is missing more, particularly wide.

Osaka earns three set points, but Jović saves the first. She thinks he has hit an ace on the second, but the chair umpire comes down and confirms the ball was wide. With the lack of electronic line calling, players can sometimes distract themselves while mulling over calls, but Osaka detonates a second-serve return, Jović pings it back and Osaka nets.

Now the set point on her serve … And despite Jović’s impressive defense, Osaka gets control with an inside-out forehand and then sends one inside-in to lead.
