<p>A shock looked to be on the cards when <strong>Goransson and Routliffe attacked Stefani's first service game, both contributing winners to break serve in just the third game</strong>, and the El Salvadorian/Brazilian duo failed to break back, as the rest of the set went with serve, giving the unseeded pair a 6-3 win.</p><p>But the favourites showed their potential in the second set, seldom dropping a point from serve before finally earning a break in game eight off the serving of the New Zealander, who had no answer to Stefani's forehand, <strong>before two-time French Open Men's Doubles champion Arevalo served successfully for the set in the next game, taking it 6-3.</strong></p><p>That took the match to a 10-point tiebreak third set, in which a double fault from Arevalo put the Swedish-New Zealander pair in the ascendency, only to let their opponents off the hook at the next point, as Routliffe was forced into an error following her own serve.</p><p>The next five points went with serve, putting Goransson and Routliffe 5-4 up, before a crazy passage of play which saw the next five points go against serve, as the underdogs let a 7-4 lead close to 7-6, before going 8-6 clear.</p><p>Stefani and Arevalo finally won a point off serve to reduce the gap back to one, <strong>but two points well taken off the serving of the 32-year-old Swede got Goransson and Routliffe over the line, winning the match 6-3, 3-6, 10-7.</strong></p><p>They will meet French wildcards Geoffrey Blancaneaux and Leolia Jeanjean in the Second Round.</p><p><strong>Follow all the events at the 2026 French Open on Flashscore.</strong></p>
