With Stefanos Tsitsipas advancing to the second round and Maria Sakkari suspended, Roland Garros main draw continues. Tomorrow our tennis player will play Spaniard Roberto Cabages Baena (No. 57) for a place in “32”. Today the Tsitsipas brothers will play in the first round, in doubles.

As of March 2019, Stefanos Tsitsipas (only 200 weeks) is in the top ten of the world rankings. In the first round of Roland Garros, he defeated Jiri Veseli 3:1. This victory was also symbolic as it is his 50th Grand Slam tournament. “Creating a dream takes patience, dedication and strong commitment,” Tsitsipas wrote on the social media page.

In the second round, he will face Baena for the second time. The first was five years ago and Tsitsipas was declared the winner.

The barrier of Karolina Muchova turned out to be insurmountable for Maria Sakkari. Our champion was defeated in the first round with a score of 0:2. “It was a very difficult draw from the start, but that’s no excuse. I am a high level player and I had to find a way to handle this. I will rest and start my matches on grass,” the leading Greek tennis player told Eurosport.

Novak Djokovic had a great first match at Roland Garros. He defeated Alexander Kovacevic 6-3, 6-2, 7-6. Felix Oze Alyassim lost to Fabio Fognini 4-6, 4-6, 3-6. Cam Nori beat Benoit Perret 7:5, 4:6, 3:6, 6:1, 6:4 and will face Luca Puig.
