Federer without problems – Musetti surprised

Federer controlled the action in only his fourth appearance this season and never had to push himself to his limits. The old star now continues against the former US Open winner Marin Cilic (CRO) or Arthur Rinderknech (FRA).

Defending champion Iga Swiatek also had no problems on her 20th birthday. The Pole won her opening match against the Slovenian Kaja Juvan of the same age 6:0,7:5. In the first set, Swiatek perfectly followed on from her tournament victory in Rome two weeks earlier, when she had not let the Czech Karolina Pliskova play in the final. The next opponent for tournament number eight is the Swede Rebecca Peterson. Meanwhile, Nadia Podoroska, a semi-finalist from last year, said goodbye. The Argentine clearly lost to the Swiss Belinda Bencic 0:6,3:6.

In an early men's match of the day, John Isner (No. 7), who hit 6 aces, won 2:6(3,6), 4:22, 31:6 against Sam Querrey in a duel between two US serving giants. Daniil Medvedev won a main competition match at Roland Garros for the very first time. The second in the world rankings, who is also number two, does not consider sand to be one of his favorite surfaces, but on his fifth appearance in Paris he finally managed to win a match. The Russian lost out to Kazakh Alexander Bublik 3,6:3,7:5:XNUMX. After Dominic Thiem's first round exit in the lower half of the table, Medvedev basically has a chance of making further progress in the tournament.

The Italian youngster Lorenzo Musetti (ATP 76) caused a surprise. The 19-year-old defeated the world number 13. David Goffin from Belgium in three sets 6:0, 7:5 and 7:6(3).
