Share<\/a>Summary<\/p>\n The main stories from day two at Roland Garros so far \u2026<\/p>\n Stan Wawrinka said \u201cI don\u2019t want to say goodbye\u201d as his final appearance at the French Open<\/a> ended with a first-round 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat to Jesper de Jong.<\/p>\n Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen\u2019s return to the venue of her most famous triumph ended with a 6-4 6-0 humbling by the Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska.<\/p>\n Elina Svitolina survived a scare against Anna Bondar, coming back to win 3-6 6-1 7-6 (3) and saying \u201cmental strength took me over the line\u201d.<\/p>\n It was more comfortable for other top seeds in the women\u2019s draw like Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Amanda Anisimova \u2013 who all advanced in straight sets.<\/p>\n Alex De Minaur eased to victory against British qualifier Toby Samuel, 6-4 6-4 6-2 while Frances Tiafoe saw off fellow American Elliot Spizzirri.<\/p>\n Spain\u2019s 19-year-old \u2018new Rafa\u2019, Rafael Jodar, flew through his first French Open match with a 6-1 6-0 6-4 win against Aleksander Kovacevic.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Tommy Paul has taken a 2-1 set lead against Rinky Hijikata after coming out on top 7-5 in the third. Elsewhere Raphael Collignon of Belgium is two sets up against Aleksandar Vukic and has just broken back in the third, trailing 1-2 on serve.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Roman Safiullin has, remarkably, won a few games on the spin in his second set against Casper Ruud, who is serving to stay in it at 5-6. Ruud won the first 6-2. Meanwhile, Hubert Hurkacz has seen off Jaume Munar 6-3 6-3 2-6 6-3 after a valiant last game against serve from the Spaniard. Katie Boulter is up next on that court.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Peru\u2019s Ignacio Buse has just saved a couple of set points to level things after a tense second-set tiebreak against Andrey Rublev. It\u2019s one set all on court 7.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Amanda Anisimova, who reached the semi-finals here as a teenager in 2019, has cruised through with a 6-3 6-1 victory against 20-year-old French wildcard Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah, who gave Aryna Sabalenka a game at the Australian Open earlier in the year.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Tommy Paul has fought back to level his match with Rinky Hijikata of Australia at one set all, with the score at 2-2 in the third set. Two-time finalist Casper Ruud has just broken Roman Safiullin in the second set to lead 3-2 in games \u2013 the Norwegian won the opening set 6-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.04 EDT<\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Terence Atmane\u2019s wait to for a win at his home grand slam goes on with Thanasi Kokkinakis edging a four-hour, five-set epic! Atmane balloons a backhand wide after saving two match points in the final game, with a few Australians in the crowd jumping for joy. It finished 6-7 (5) 6-2 4-6 6-3 7-5.<\/p>\n Camilo Ugo Carabelli of Argentina is through to the second round after a straight-sets victory over the USA\u2019s Emilio Nava, 7-6 (10) 6-3 6-3<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Raducanu defends decision to return on clay rather than grass<\/p>\n The tears that unexpectedly welled up in Emma Raducanu\u2019s eyes following another difficult loss gave a glimpse into how heavily the last few years have weighed on her. The 23-year-old had been downbeat but philosophical about a 6-0 7-6 (4) defeat against Solana Sierra in the first round of the French Open<\/a> when she was asked about the trajectory her career has taken since the stars aligned in New York five years ago.<\/p>\n Resilience was the word Raducanu settled on as she fought to control her emotions, and she will need to show more of that as she battles to find form again on the grass. It has once again been a stop-start season for the former US Open champion, who began the year battling a foot injury and then picked up a virus in early February that turned into a post-viral illness. She spent two and a half months away from the tour and the rust was clear as she struggled to find the court for a set and a half against Sierra before at least clawing her way back into the match.<\/p>\n Raducanu had wanted to test herself on clay rather than move straight to preparing for grass, and it was a decision she stood by despite the outcome.<\/p>\n double quotation markI think I\u2019ve been practising well but it\u2019s been five, six weeks after two months off. It was going to be a big ask coming in. I really wanted to play the French, so that was my decision. I stand by it, because I think I got to experience a grand slam. I never want to miss it. I think I competed as well as I could in the second set with what I had.<\/p>\n That Raducanu is still battling a lingering cough nearly four months after first becoming unwell is clearly a concern, and she would certainly have wanted to head into her most high-profile stretch of the season with confidence levels higher.<\/p>\n The British No 1 also has ranking points to defend having reached the quarter-finals of Queen\u2019s last year and the third round of Wimbledon, where she pushed world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019m looking forward to getting back on home soil, for sure. Queen\u2019s is always an amazing tournament, so I\u2019m looking forward to starting there. Afterwards, I don\u2019t know, it depends how it goes.<\/p>\n Reporting by PA Media<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Amanda Anisimova has wrapped up the first set 6-3 against the French wildcard Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah.<\/p>\n Other results are \u2026<\/p>\n E Lys (Ger) bt P Marcinko (Cro) 6-3 6-0<\/p>\n A Potapova (Aut) bt M Joint (Aus) 6-1 6-2<\/p>\n Y Putintseva (Kaz) bt T Gibson (Aus) 6-4 4-6 6-1<\/p>\n V Golubic (Swi) bt P Udvardy (Hun) 6-0 6-2<\/p>\n British No 3 Katie Boulter\u2019s match with Akasha Urhobo has been delayed by Jaume Munar taking his match against Hubert Hurkacz to a third set on court 8.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Extreme heat in Paris affecting clay courts<\/p>\n Tennis players at the French Open<\/a> say they haven\u2019t experienced conditions this hot at Roland Garros since the Paris Olympics, which were held in July and August. Temperatures for the opening two days have soared to 33C \u2014 far beyond normal for late May in the French capital. And it\u2019s forecast to stay that way for the entire first week.<\/p>\n Besides making it uncomfortable for fans and players alike, the sultry conditions have also created faster conditions on court \u2014 changing the pace of the game.<\/p>\n Iga Swiatek said \u2026<\/p>\n double quotation markIt is much different. Maybe it was that hot in the Olympics but the balls were different, so I wouldn\u2019t treat it as the same tournament.<\/p>\n Players have been putting bags of ice around their necks on changeovers to stay cool, while fans are refreshing themselves under sprinklers. When workers water the clay courts between sets, they have taken to directing their hoses at spectators begging to be doused too.<\/p>\n Daria Kastakina said \u2026<\/p>\n double quotation markI don\u2019t remember the last time it was so hot at Roland Garros. Maybe one day. But we\u2019re going to have it for the whole week. You can suddenly just get out of the bench and feel that your focus dropped. So this is a battle which you have to also win \u2026 Whoever adapts better to today\u2019s conditions gets it.<\/p>\n The French Open is usually cool compared to the traditional heat at the Australian Open and US Open. The Australian Open has a strict heat protocol that sets thresholds for cooling interventions. In the event of extreme heat, the tournament referee has the authority to suspend play or order extra cooling breaks. French Open organisers did not immediately respond to a request asking if they have a heat protocol.<\/p>\n But some players were embracing the hotter air. Alex De Minaur said \u2026<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019ve always preferred hot and lively conditions to chilly on a clay court, because I feel like I can bring a little bit more of my all-court tennis on this type of surface. It\u2019s easier to be a little bit more aggressive. The ball is jumping. I don\u2019t necessarily have to use as much spin or heaviness, and I can let the conditions do the job for me. And it\u2019s quite physical. I don\u2019t mind the heat.<\/p>\n Alex Michelsen said \u2026<\/p>\n double quotation markIt\u2019s definitely good for us Americans. Generally we\u2019re big serve, big forehand, big ground game and like to play offense. When it\u2019s super hot, the ball is moving through the air very fast. \u2026 I was so happy when I saw the forecast.<\/p>\n Reporting by AP<\/p>\n Andrey Rublev uses an ice bag to cool off while sitting between games as he plays against Peru’s Ignacio Buse. Photograph: Alain Jocard\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.40 EDT<\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Ugo Humbert comes through an all-French affair with Adrian Mannarino 6-3 6-4 6-3 on Philippe-Chatrier. Mannarino battled well in the final came on Humbert\u2019s serve but eventually sent a careless forehand long on match point.<\/p>\n Argentina\u2019s Mariano Navone is also through to the second round in straight sets at the expense of USA\u2019s Jenson Brooksby. Brandon Nakashima has eased through against the veteran Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets too.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n In terms of British interest, Katie Boulter is in action next on court 8 against the American wildcard Akasha Urhobo. They have to wait for the conclusion of the men\u2019s match between Jaume Munar and Hubert Hurkacz, which the Pole leads 6-3 6-3 2-2.<\/p>\n Toby Samuel, the British qualifier, has exited on the men\u2019s side of the draw after a straight-sets defeat to Alex De Minaur.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Here are the seeds currently in action in the heat at Roland Garros \u2026<\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles<\/p>\n Andrey Rublev (11) leads Ignacio Buse after a 6-3 first set<\/p>\n Tommy Paul (24) trails Rinky Hijikata after a 6-4 first set<\/p>\n Ugo Humbert (32) leads the all-French affair with Adrian Mannarino 6-3 6-3 4-2, with Mannarino serving on Philippe-Chatrier<\/p>\n Casper Ruud (15) has just started his match against Roman Safiullin<\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles<\/p>\n Leolia Jeanjean of France has just bowed out after being edged out in two tiebreaks by Kaitlin Quevedo of Spain.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks Yara. One of the main stories of this afternoon has been Elina Svitolina narrowly avoiding another upset to the unseeded Hungarian Anna Bondar, who shocked her in Madrid last month.<\/p>\n The Ukrainian seventh seed could not find her range on Suzanne Lenglen, falling apart in the opening set after cancelling out an early break. Svitolina, however, bounced back in the second but it was not as easy as the 6-1 scoreline suggested.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old fell 3-1 behind in the decider but clawed her way back and broke decisively for 4-3. Serving for the match at 5-4, she was broken to love, losing eight points in a row to find herself trailing 6-5. She held serve to force a super tiebreak, during which her opponent eventually unravelled.<\/p>\n Speaking afterwards Svitolina said \u2026<\/p>\n double quotation markDefinitely the support of you guys has been unbelievable, this kind of battle is never easy. It was an amazing match, I\u2019m pleased with my performance.<\/p>\n A first round like this puts you right on track. Mental strength took me over the line, as well as my physical condition.<\/p>\n Svitolina is expected to sit on Philippe-Chatrier later when her husband, Gael Monfils, starts his final French Open<\/a> campaign against fellow Frenchman Hugo Gaston.<\/p>\n \u201cI will tell him to enjoy it. He always brings the best show,\u201d she said. Reuters<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n That is all from me for today but Billy Munday is back to steer you through the rest of the action from day two.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: After the match, Wawrinka was presented with a glass case containing a section of a clay court and two video tributes to his career were displayed on big screens around the stadium \u2013 the latter featuring messages directed to Wawrinka<\/a> from the former champions Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, among other luminaries of the sport.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard, I don\u2019t want to say goodbye to you here,\u201d Wawrinka said. \u201cUnfortunately, it\u2019s my last match at Roland Garros, but thank you.<\/p>\n \u201cMe too, I love you,\u201d he added in response to cries from the spectators of \u2018we love you, Stan\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cThanks to all your support, I wanted to go on as long as possible, to 41 years of age, to continue living moments like this.\u201d<\/p>\n His every point roared on by the crowd but Wawrinka\u2019s best efforts to prolong his stay in Roland Garros, which at one moment left him lying panting on his back, were in vain as De Jong battled into the second round.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be honest, it\u2019s not about me today,\u201d the 25-year-old said. \u201cFunny story about Stan, he was playing against my coach when I was a ball kid! It\u2019s all about Stan today.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Wawrinka, 41, beaten in final French Open appearance<\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Stan Wawrinka\u2019s final appearance at Roland Garros has ended in heartbreak as the 41-year-old, who won the tournament in 2015 and will retire this year, lost to Jesper De Jong 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the first round. De Jong controlled the baseline from the start, shrugged off Wawrinka\u2019s second-set revival, and broke decisively in the fourth to advance.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.52 EDT<\/p>\n Svitolina triumphs over Bondar 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (3)<\/p>\n Elina Svitolina rallies from a set down to defeat Anna Bondar. After the Hungarian\u2019s commanding opener, Svitolina seized control with a clinical second set and dominated the super tie-break to advance to the second round.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Three unforced errors from Bondar after a Svitolina winner and the Ukrainian leads 4-0 in the tie-break \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Pressure moments now for Svitolina and Bondar. We head to a tie-break in the third after Svitolina holds to love with an ace and brilliant drop shot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Earlier today the Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen\u2019s return to the venue of her most famous triumph ended with a 6-4, 6-0 humbling by the Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska.<\/p>\n China\u2019s Zheng has largely struggled to replicate the form that carried her to the gold medal at the Paris Games two years ago with a chronic right elbow injury stalling her progress and forcing her to undergo surgery last summer.<\/p>\n Chwalinska was delighted with her win over the world No 56, who was ranked No 4 a year ago.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect, because I don\u2019t have much experience playing against high-ranked players,\u201d Chwalinska told Eurosport. \u201cI felt much more comfortable today than in the last qualifying match \u2026 I wanted to focus on myself and play my tennis to the best of my ability.\u201d<\/p>\n Zheng told reporters later that she struggled in the heat and her mindset was affected by the loopy shots that Chwalinska used to disrupt her rhythm on Court seven \u2013 with a smaller perimeter area than a show court.<\/p>\n \u201cShe had a good game on clay and the court was really small when she played high balls to me,\u201d added Zheng, who will drop outside the Top 100.<\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t go more back like in the big court. That also makes the difference \u2026 and honestly, the conditions were tough for me. The weather has been really hot. \u201cI think the nervousness and the pressure today [also] didn\u2019t allow me to play.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Another one going the distance is the All-American clash between Frances Tiafoe and Eliot Spizzirri on Court 7. Tiafoe took the third set 6-4, reclaiming a 2-1 match lead with Dominant serving throughout, and a crucial break in game 9 sealing it after Spizzirri pushed him all the way to 4-4.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Looks like Stan Wawrinka and Jesper De Jong might go the distance. De Jong leads two sets to one and the Dutch lucky loser broke twice in the third despite Wawrinka\u2019s early fightback, dominating with crisp groundstrokes to reclaim control. 2hr 17min on the clock and counting.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Lots happening around the grounds. Elina Svitolina has just taken the second set against Anna Bondar, so we go to a decider. After going down 0-30, Svitolina reeled off four straight points, finishing with a backhand winner in that final game to take the set.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Here is what Elena Rybakina said on court after her win.<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019m really happy with the win of course, there are things to improve but today it\u2019s really hot. It\u2019s tough conditions but I\u2019m happy things worked, and I\u2019m looking forward to the next match.<\/p>\n Rybakina will next take on Ukraine\u2019s Yuliia Starodubtseva as the Kazakh seeks to win her second grand slam of the season after her success at the Australian Open in January.<\/p>\n Despite disappointing runs in the WTA 1000-level events immediately preceding the French Open<\/a>, the 26-year-old has already lifted a title on clay this season in Stuttgart.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles: Elena Rybakina comes out swinging with a 6-2, 6-2 dismissal of Veronika Erjavec. The second seed was relentless on Chatrier, breaking four times across both sets and never allowing Erjavec a foothold in the match in 1hr 15min.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: The 19-year-old Rafael Jodar has just beat Aleksandar Kovacevic in straight sets and is through to the next round as his breakthrough season continues. The 27th seed was relentless in his 6-1, 6-0, 6-4 win, breaking serve six times across three sets and never allowing the American to gain traction.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Men\u2019s singles: Huge victory for Matteo Berrettini who just overcame M\u00e1rton Fucsovics in 3hr 9min to win 7-6 (2), 5-7, 1-6, 2-6. After dropping the opener in a tie-break, Berrettini seized control midway through and never looked back.<\/p>\n Matteo Berrettini is through to round two.

A few more matches coming to close and a few exciting ones coming up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Yara El-Shaboury is back to take you through the next few hours.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s singles latest: Second seed Elena Rybakina has taken the first set against Veronika Erjavec (6-2) while Austria\u2019s Julia Grabher has progressed to the second round with a 6-2 6-2 victory against Rebecca Sramkova. Elise Mertens has won the first set (7-5) against Tatjana Maria.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n French watch: With Arthur Rinderknech through today, there are a handful of other home players in action. Luca van Assche, ranked No 63 in the world, is 2-1 up in sets against Lithuania\u2019s Vilius Gaubas, who replaced Patrick Kypson after the American withdrew with abdominal pains.<\/p>\n Terence Atmane, ranked No 52 in the world, is locked in a tight battle with Australia\u2019s Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first set on court 6.<\/p>\n Then there are two all-French affairs on Philippe-Chatrier later on with Ugo Humbert taking on Adrian Mannarino before Gael Monfils starts his final French Open<\/a> against Hugo Gaston tonight.<\/p>\n On the women\u2019s side, wildcard Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah, the Madagascar-born No 153 in the world, will be up against No 6 seed Amanda Anisimova on Suzanne-Lenglen.<\/p>\n
