2023-05-30 14:39:50

The first round continues and ends at Roland-Garros on Tuesday, with the entry into the running of veteran tricolors Gaël Monfils and Richard Gasquet. The Russian Daniil Medvedev is also launching his fortnight, as is the Polish Iga Swiatek.

Diane Parry and Océane Dodin, rays of sunshine from the blue clan

Revealed to the public eye last year, Diane Parry showed that she was comfortable at Roland-Garros. A quick victory (6-2, 6-3) once morest Anhelina Kalinina, seeded number 25, and here she is launched into the tournament. This is the second time she has won once morest a top 30 player in her young career, the second time at Roland and the second time in the first round!

In the duel between French women, it was Océane Dodin who won once morest Selena Janicijevic (0-6, 6-2, 6-1). At 26, Dodin equals her best result on Parisian clay, which dates back to 2017, and will face Tunisian Ons Jabeur (n°7) in the next round.

Hugo Gaston, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Fiona Ferro on the carpet, lthe Tricolores look gray

Despite the two victories mentioned above, it is not really France who wins this Tuesday. Beaten from the start by Alex Molcan (6-1, 7-6, 6-4), Hugo Gaston stops in the first round, while his compatriot, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, recipient of an invitation, fought well once morest Genaro Alberto Olivieri, before diving and losing in five sets (7-6, 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1). It was also complicated for Fiona Ferro. After qualifying, the French was no match for Rebecca Peterson and lost heavily (6-2, 6-0).

For this last day of the first round, the tricolor executives Gaël Monfils and Richard Gasquet, facing Arthur Rinderknech, will try to embellish this balance sheet at the end of the day, while Quentin Halys is doingt its appearance in this fortnight.

Ruud and Jabeur at the right time, Zverev in settings

As for the favorites, Casper Ruud, outgoing semi-finalist, did not miss out on his debut. Clear win once morest Elias Ymer (6-4, 6-3, 6-2). Exit to the applause of the public but injured last year, Alexander Zverev arrives without certainty in Paris. If he finally wins in three sets once morest Lloyd Harris (7-6 [8-6]7-6 [7-0]6-1), he showed that he still lacked benchmarks.

For Ons Jabeur, it was necessary to be reassured following difficult weeks, it is done once morest Lucia Bronzetti (6-4, 6-1). Among the potential outsiders, Coco Gauff is doing well following a complicated start to the match once morest Rebeka Masarova (3-6, 6-1, 6-2). AT note the success of Mirra Andreeva, who at 16 won her first Grand Slam victory once morest Alison Riske-Amritraj (6-2, 6-1). The title holder Iga Swiatek (No. 1) will start once morest Cristina Bucsa in the third rotation on center court. She will try to avoid suffering the same fate as Barbora Krejcikova, winner in 2021 and released on Tuesday by Lesia Tsurenko (6-2, 6-4).
