Not Sonay Kartal’s finest work so far – a double fault seals a 6-1 first set for Marie Bouzkova. Can the Brit bounce back?

And away she powers! Mirra Andreeva is in the mood now, beginning to express herself with her groundstrokes and sending Ashlyn Krueger spinning around the court. The first set is hers at 6-3 in relatively brisk fashion.

It’s not looking quite so promising for Sonay Kartal – she’s finally on the board after holding serve at the third attempt with Marie Bouzkova 4-1 in front.

Impressive stuff from Mirra Andreeva, who has settled after a shaky start. She breaks back to square affairs at 3-apiece, and is beginning to find her serving range, too, cracking an ace down the centre. She nudges in front.

Also behind early is Great Britain’s Sonay Kartal – Marie Bouzkova has taken the second of two break points in the opening game.

It’s a good start from Krueger, too, breaking the serve of Andreeva immediately. She then battles to a hold despite the Russian teenager earning a break point with a delightful drop shot and fierce forehand flashed down the line.

There’s an intriguing little match on Court Simonne Mathieu, with sixth seed Mirra Andreeva taking on Ashlyn Krueger. You may recall that the American stunned the rising star at the US Open last year in the second round – can she repeat the trick?

The first players of the day are out on court. Want to track the fortunes of each and every seed in both singles draws this year? This should be handy…

It’s a big day for the home fans in Paris, all of Arthur Fils, Corentin Moutet, Ugo Humbert, Richard Gasquet and Gael Monfils in marquee matches at Roland Garros. One suspects today may mark Gasquet’s farewell to the French Open – the veteran will retire from tennis after this tournament and shocking Jannik Sinner may prove beyond him. But with the crowd behind him, could he have one more shock in store?…

“If anyone has watched Iga’s losses over the European clay court season, the players that have beaten her have played absolutely lights out tennis. Although everyone says Iga’s form is bad, I didn’t actually think that and she proved it yesterday,” Mark Petchey, who is coaching Raducanu currently, told TNT Sports.

“On hard courts and grass is a lot closer compared to where Emma was in Australia against Iga, but against Iga and Coco, she knows what she has to do and it will take a long time. My mantra to her has been ‘You are starting your career now. Everyone is judging you on what happened in 2021 but the reality is, I want to see you building a career here where people judge you in two years.’

“I’m a little tired of hearing people say that she doesn’t work hard, but I spent ten months with her in 2020, and I’ve spent every day that I can with her since Miami, and not once has she not put in a full day shift. Whether there are areas that together, we can help her be crystalise more gains in the fitness or the tennis or whatever, but in terms of turning up every day and putting in a good shift, she’s done it every single time. So, I’d like to bury that myth where it belongs.”

“Since Miami when we improvised and I started helping Emma, I said she needs to start closing the gap between the best players. She doesn’t need me to sit between 20-50 in the world and if I’m not the best choice, she needs to find the best choice,” Mark Petchey, who is coaching Raducanu, told TNT Sports.

“On this court, Iga is 23 straight wins – you don’t put those streaks together at a Major if your game isn’t so difficult to play against. It was clearly going to be the ultimate test for Emma yesterday.

“From my point of view, it’s tough on Emma as I still feel everyone is living in 2021. The games have changed massively, the balls are four times heavier than back in 2021 and Emma isn’t the biggest hitter out there. If you can’t put the ball through the court on a windy, heavy clay court day against someone like Iga, you’re going to get into all sorts of trouble.”
