French Open: Parry Stuns Anisimova To Break Grand Slam, Third-round Jinx
Stade Roland Garros: France's Diane Parry advances to the fourth round of a Major for the first time after a thrilling upset win over No. 6 seed Amanda Anisimova in a three-set battle in the French Open at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris on Saturday.
Before this year's French Open, Perry had reached the third round of a Grand Slam five times but had never advanced to the last 16. On Saturday, playing on Court Philippe-Chatrier in front of a raucous Parisian crowd, Parry finally broke through with a hard-fought three-set upset victory over No. 6 seed Amanda Anisimova, securing a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 victory in 2 hours, 44 minutes.
Both players saved multiple break points in the third set before Parry earned a break to move ahead 4-3, only for Anisimova to break back immediately. Four games later, the match was decided in a tiebreak. Parry dominated the breaker 10-3 to seal victory.
