Several French Open matches had to be paused as fans celebrated Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League win over Arsenal.
Luis Enrique’s side prevailed in a nail-biting penalty shootout after the contest had finished 1-1 after extra-time.
It was Arsenal defender Gabriel who missed the decisive penalty, blazing his effort well over the crossbar.
The Brazilian’s failure to convert sparked delirium amongst the travelling PSG supporters in Budapest and indeed around the world.
Although millions will have tuned in to witness the contest, those in attendance at the French Open on Saturday evening will have missed out as they had some world class tennis to keep them occupied.
But that didn’t stop them from learning of the result.
Party time in Paris
As Gabriel’s penalty sailed into the stands in Budapest, cheers rang out across the Roland Garros precinct.
In fact, so loud were the screams of joy, several matches on Saturday had to be momentarily stopped.
The moment was captured early on in Frances Tiafoe’s third round match against Jaime Faria.
As Faria prepared to serve down 15-40 in the ninth game of the first set, the Portuguese star had to step away from the baseline to recompose himself.
The TNT Sports coverage then cut to fans celebrating outside the courts at Roland Garros, having witnessed the end of the contest.
“They’re starting to go crazy,” TNT Sports commentator and tennis icon John McEnroe said.
He then joked that they may have been cheering for Canadian star Victoria Mboko.
“I know they like Mboko, but I don’t think it’s because she won the second,” McEnroe added.
If any of the cheers were for Mboko, they unfortunately didn’t last as she lost 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 to America’s Madison Keys.
Chaos reigns supreme at Roland Garros
The stoppages in play didn’t quite lend themselves to causing any boil-overs as significant as what transpired earlier this week in Paris.
Jannik Sinner was bundled out in the second round by Juan Manuel Cerundolo on Thursday, blowing a two-set lead.
Sinner was up 5-1 in the third set and looked on course for safe passage into the next round, only to capitulate in extraordinary fashion.
With Sinner out and Carlos Alcaraz absent from the tournament due to injury, the path opened up for Novak Djokovic as he searched for a record-breaking 25th major.
However, the Serbian superstar fell despite holding a two-set lead for just the second time in his career as teenage sensation Joao Fonseca roared back to win a five-set thriller.
It marked Djokovic’s first loss to a teenager at a grand slam and his earliest exit from the French Open since 2009.
With no Sinner, Djokovic or Alcaraz remaining, it means someone outside of the trio will win a grand slam for the first time since the 2021 US Open, when Daniil Medvedev prevailed.
