Brit Neal Skupski loses French Open Mixed Doubles Final with partner Desirae Krawczyk

Neal Skupski and his American doubles partner Desirae Krawczyk lost the Mixed Doubles Final on Court Philippe-Chatrier as the Brits wait for a French Open title goes on.

The pair lost to give German Laura Siegemund and France's Édouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-5 and a first French Open mixed title for the pair.

Skupski and Krawczyk were in the contest throughout but failed to take advantage of the opportunities that came their way converting 0/7 break points in the first set.

Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin took the first set with a break in the first game of the match and battling well to save those seven break points the Brit and American had.

The second set started with both holding serve for their first service games. Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin then broke in the third game of the set.

Skupski and Krawczyk needed a break to stop the match from going the way of their opponents and managed one in the eighth game of the set to make it 4-4.

That was the start of four breaks in a row as both pairs struggled with their service games, Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin breaking first to make it 5-4 and to give them a chance to serve for the championship.

The fourth seeds battled hard and managed to save a championship point to break for a second time in the set keeping it level. This crazy set took another twist as the German and Frenchman broke a fourth time in the match, later going 40-15 up on their service game to give them two championship points, in which they converted the first to win the Frenchman's first grand slam mixed doubles title and the German's second.
