The top American seed at the 2025 French Open was eliminated with No. 4 Taylor Fritz losing his first-round match to Daniel Altmaier on Monday.

Fritz's defeat continues his struggles playing on clay courts, recently demonstrated by a first-round loss to Marcus Giron at the Italian Open and a fourth-round exit versus Casper Ruud at the Madrid Open.

Monday has not been kind to American seeds at Roland-Garros with women's No. 9 seed Emma Navarro falling to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro earlier in the day.
