Top 5 Grand Slam Comebacks This Season: The Veteran Still Strong, The Madman Outruns the Wild Rabbit!

Earlier, I recapped the five greatest comebacks of the ATP annual tour; now, let's upgrade the scope and examine the top five reversals in the 2025 Grand Slam season.

It should be noted that all these matches involved stunning comebacks from two sets behind to win in five sets, which is why the Akafa Open final comeback against Sinner was excluded.

5️⃣ Wimbledon First Round: Jarry came back from 4-6, 4-6 to defeat 8th seed Rune 7-5, 6-3, 6-4

Chile’s former top player Jarry has regressed compared to last season, but he still had shining moments. At Wimbledon, he decisively overturned Rune, marking his first five-set victory in a Grand Slam event.

4️⃣ French Open First Round: Monfils defeated De Minaur 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(4), 6-1

The phrase “old man’s youthful passion” perfectly describes Frenchman Monfils. Once the cool young star, he has matured but still finds victories and titles. His ability to pull off such a difficult comeback makes this win even more remarkable. This victory also tied him with Noah for the most French Open wins by a French male player in the Open Era.

3️⃣ French Open Second Round: Bublik rallied from 2-6, 2-6 down to beat De Minaur 6-4, 6-3, 6-2

This was the highlight period of the Kazakh player’s season. After winning several lower-tier clay titles in a row, he staged this comeback at the French Open to defeat Australia’s top player and reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.

2️⃣ Australian Open Second Round: After nearly 5 hours of play, Davidovich Fokina overturned a two-set deficit in tiebreaks to defeat Auger-Aliassime 6-7(7), 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1, 6-3

Previously, Fokina was often a background figure in stats, but this time he was the undeniable hero. Facing the young Canadian star with no room to fall back, he fought back fiercely, finishing the match at 1 AM in Melbourne.

1️⃣ Wimbledon First Round: Fritz pulled off a miraculous comeback after losing the first two sets and trailing 1-5 in the fourth-set tiebreak against Pericard, who had just broken the Wimbledon serve speed record, winning 6-7(6), 6-7(8), 6-4, 7-6(8), 6-4

The American’s grass-court performance this season has been impressive, having won titles at Eastbourne and Stuttgart. However, in the fourth round of this Wimbledon, he faced stiff resistance from the powerful server Pericard and had to fight hard to win. Ultimately, he achieved his best Wimbledon result ever by reaching the semifinals.Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye
