Luca Van Assche beat Marco Cecchinato in three sets in the first round of Roland-Garros. The Franco-Belgian, professional since 19, promises to be the new hope of French tennis.

The second round of the French Open begins this Wednesday. Six Frenchmen will also tread the clay of the Porte d'Auteuil. Among them, the young revelation Arthur van Assche, opposed on court 14 to the Spaniard Davidovich Fokina.
