Roland Garros - Fucsovics beat top 10 player for the first time

One of the biggest victories of his career was the success of Márton Fucsovics in the first round of the French Open tennis tournament against Danyiil Medvedev, who was ranked fourth.

"This is the first time I've beaten a top 10 player in my career, plus a Grand Slam," Roland Garros's website quoted the Hungarian tennis player as saying goodbye to the fifth Russian tennis player in the world rankings after four games. - "I wanted to show that I am a very good player and my goal is to be in the top ten in the world rankings."

The report recalls that the athlete from Nyíregyháza has played against the top ten rivals 14 times so far and has always lagged behind. The website of the Hungarian association, huntennis.hu, pointed out that a Hungarian male tennis player had been able to present such a feat for more than 37 years: in May 1983, Balázs Taróczy beat the then world leader Ivan Lendl in Hamburg.

Currently ranked 63rd in the rankings, Fucsovics played great tennis almost all the way at the Suzanne Lenglen Stadium, with the exception of the losing third set, which dominated the match, which Medvedev even had a chance to have ended his previous three Roland Garros performances in the first round and slag last year, the match he won in the semi-finals of the tournament in Barcelona last time.

In the second round, Márton Fucsovics will meet Albert Ramos-Vinolas of Spain.
