The first round continues. After a day on Sunday marked by the eliminations of Ons Jabeur and Dominic Thiem, many leaders enter the running, Monday, May 22, at Roland-Garros. On the Philippe-Chatrier court, the world number one Iga Swiatek won the first set against Lesia Tsurenko, before the defending champion Barbora Krejcikova, opposed to the French Diane Parry. Then will come the turn of the men’s circuit, with the entries in the running of Rafael Nadal (against Jordan Thompson) and Novak Djokovic (opposed to Yoshihito Nishioka).
Naomi Osaka still can’t do it in Paris. The Japanese star lost in the first round to American Amanda Anisimova (5-7, 4-6). On the Simonne-Mathieu court, the French Océane Dodin, 84th in the world, also lost to Andrea Petkovic (4-6, 2-6).
