Tomás Martín Etcheverry, world No. 25 and 23rd seed, faces Nuno Borges in the first round of Roland-Garros. A quarterfinalist in 2023, the Argentine seeks redemption after his first-round exit last year. Borges, ranked 50th, reached the third round in 2025.

The Portuguese leads the head-to-head (2-0) and won 6-3, 7-6 on Barcelona clay last month, a match that ended with an underarm serve on match point. Etcheverry, on the rise (from 64th to 25th in eight months), will need to be sharper on break points: he converted only one of four in their last duel.
