Britain's Felix Gill saw his French Open debut hopes end in qualifying defeat. The 23-year-old lost to home favourite Manuel Jacquet in the final round on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Gill battled back after an early break in the first set, but Jacquet claimed the tie-break and carried momentum to a second-set victory.

Jacquet's win secures his place in the main draw, while Gill must wait for a Grand Slam singles appearance. Among British players, only Cameron Norrie is seeded. Norrie opens against Paraguay's Vallejo, while others face tough draws: Raducanu meets Argentine clay-court specialist Sierra, and Jones confronts Brazil's Haddad Maia, a 2023 semi-finalist.

This loss extends Gill's wait for a major singles tournament. His performance showed promise, particularly in the tightly-contested first set, but he could not overcome Jacquet's home support and crucial tie-break edge. The result means all six British players in singles qualifying fell short, leaving Norrie as the sole British seed in the men's draw.
