American tennis player Amanda Anisimova became the latest high-seeded tennis player to lose in the first three rounds at Roland-Garros on Saturday.
Anisimova was the sixth seed in the women’s draw, and she took on Diane Parry, who was unranked.
Parry took the first set 6-3, using her home nation crowd to her advantage. Given how chaotic the early rounds of the tournament have been on both the men’s and women’s sides, with upsets, it looked like Anisimova might be next to see an early exit.
The American battled back in the second set, winning 6-4 to force a third set in the match.

Anisimova was up in the final set 5 games to 4 with the chance to break Parry for the win, but the Frenchwoman held on to tie the set at five games apiece.
The American held her serve as the third set moved to 6-5. All eyes were on Parry and whether she could hold her serve to force a tiebreaker, or if Anisimova would escape with the win and advance.
Parry held strong and forced the match into a tiebreaker. The scoring is different in tiebreakers: the winner is the first to 10 points, but they must win by 2.
The tiebreaker was tied 3-3, but then Parry came up seven straight points for the 10-3 win.
Parry will now turn her attention to facing unranked Maja Chwalinska in the fourth round.
