Maria Sakkari needed to wear down Claire Liu the hard way at Roland-Garros, dropping the opener 9-7 in a tiebreak before flipping the match 6-3, 6-3. Liu had the first-set escape in hand and couldn't translate it — the American won just six games across the last two sets and gave Sakkari steady rhythm from the baseline. With zero aces and zero break points faced on either side, this was a holding contest decided by who blinked first in the longer rallies, and after the tiebreak that was Liu.
