Berrettini Faces Comesana in Third Round as French Open Run Intensifies

Matteo Berrettini and Francisco Comesana are scheduled to meet Saturday in a third-round match at the 2026 French Open. The contest, set for Court Suzanne Lenglen, marks the deepest Roland Garros run for both players this year.

Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist who once reached No. 6 in the world, advanced to the third round by beating Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets. The Italian has looked increasingly comfortable on clay this spring after recovering from a string of injuries that kept him off tour for extended periods.

Comesana outlasted Luciano Darderi in a five-set battle to earn his place in the third round. The Argentine qualifier has built momentum through the tournament, but now faces his first top-tier opponent of the event.

Saturday’s match is the first career meeting between Berrettini and Comesana on the ATP tour. Berrettini enters as a clear favorite based on his ranking history and Grand Slam experience, but Comesana has already shown he can push through long rallies, a key test on the slow Paris clay.

The winner will move into the fourth round, likely against a higher seed, as the tournament enters its second week.
