Victoria Mboko vs Katerina Siniakova — R64 — French Open

Victoria Mboko lost the first set 7-5 and then tightened the screws, converting 8 of 14 break points to grind down Katerina Siniakova in three. The turn came on return: Mboko won 52% of first-serve return points (35/67) and broke four times across the final two sets, swallowing a 5-7 opener with a 6-4, 6-2 close. Neither woman was clean — 59 unforced errors to 58, and just 21 winners for the Canadian against 29 — but Mboko held the games count 17-13 in this first-ever meeting, a maiden clash on clay.
