With a sigh, the first brother and the first sister of South America were both out of the first round of the French Open

As we all know, we live on a planet that consists of Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, South America, and North America. Because of this, the people who can become the first brother and sister of Intercontinental, whether in terms of strength or ranking, are very strong, so they can often achieve good results. However, in the Roland Garros arena, the first brother and the first sister from South America suffered Waterloo in the first round of the French Open, lost to their opponents, and both went out. So, who are these two players? How have they fared this year? Who did they lose to in the first round of the French Open? Today, let this article take you to take a look.

Argentina's Cerundolo has reached six tour finals and won three titles since reaching his first tour final in 2021. It is worth mentioning that he has met Chinese men's tennis players Zhang Zhizhen and Shang Juncheng in the Grand Slam qualifiers and Masters qualifiers, but on both occasions, the Chinese players had the last laugh. It was the victory over Cerundolo that allowed the two Chinese men's tennis players to reach the Grand Slam and Masters main draws. Objectively speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cerundolo is the brocade of these two Chinese men's tennis players.

At present, Cerundolo is ranked in the top 18 in the world and is the first brother of men's tennis in South America. In the 2025 season, he has reached at least the semi-finals at all levels of the ATP Tour. With two clay tournament titles under his belt, Cerundolo is a great player on clay. His opponent in the first round of the French Open was Canada's Diallo. Some time ago, Diallo reached the quarterfinals of his first Masters tournament. In this matchup, Diallo defeated Cerundolo in straight sets to claim his first career French Open victory.

Brazil's Maya has been playing professionally for a longer time than Cerundolo, winning her first career Grand Slam victory in 2017. Like Cerundolo, Maya has a deep connection with Chinese players. In 2022, she partnered with Zhang Shuai and won the women's doubles championship; In 2023, Maya and Zhang Shuai also made a fuss because they unexpectedly lost the match point in the second round of the Australian Open, and finally parted ways. However, this did not affect Maya's mood and form, and this year, Maya reached the semifinals of her first career Grand Slam at the French Open.

This year, after losing to Germany's Sigmund and China's Gao Xinyu in the United Cup, Maya's record has not been satisfactory. During this period, she even had a nine-game losing streak. Despite winning three straight matches at the recent WTA 500 Strasbourg Open and reaching the semi-finals of the 2025 season for the first time on the tour, it seems that all of this has come a little too late. Despite this, Maya is still ranked 23rd in the number one women's tennis in South America.

In the first round of the French Open, Maya's opponent was American Baptiste. After a clean-cut first set victory, she suddenly stopped playing. In the next game, he was reversed by his opponent in two sets in a row and was out. In this way, the first brother and the first sister in South America both stopped in the first round of the French Open and broke out an upset. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
