With his back to the camera, the world’s “third brother” Aikaras is fighting against the 51st-ranked French golfer Palika in the first round. Seeing that his opponent was so deep, Aikaras made a short move, but was unexpectedly driven to the front of the net by Palika, who came back to overtake him. However, Aikaras was in control of the overall situation and faced break point crises three times in the first set, all of which were resolved. With the break of serve at the beginning, she led until the end. The winning point of the first set was until the opponent returned the board and went straight out of bounds, winning 6-4 first.
