Valentin Vacherot outlasted Thomas Faurel 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(8) in a first-round grind at Roland-Garros, clawing back from two sets down and saving set point in a fourth-set breaker that went to 10-8. The serve carried him when little else did — 15 aces against six — even as he leaked five double faults and converted just 2 of 10 break chances. Faurel's inability to close, going 1-for-4 on break points himself across the back half, was the difference in a match he twice had on his racquet.
