Borges controlled the opening rally but sent a volley long. He reached 15-30 before Rublev struck a flat forehand to level and earned set point with a netted backhand. The score returned to deuce until Rublev delivered an ace and a wide service winner to claim the set 7-5. Borges must raise his first-serve level to stay competitive. Rublev created break points at 0-30 and converted after another backhand error, moving ahead 6-5. Borges saved two break points to lead 5-4 earlier, while Golubic wasted a chance against Kostyuk. Kostyuk held for 4-3 as the more consistent player. Rublev escaped 0-30 trouble to reach 5-5. Scores elsewhere showed Borges and Rublev tied at 4-4, Golubic broken to love for 3-3, Tirante leading 3-2, and Starodubtseva ahead 3-2. Welcome to day six at Roland-Garros.
