Positive debut, in the splendid setting of the "Philippe-Chatrier", for Jannik Sinner who, thanks to his performance tonight, arrives at the second round of Roland Garros. The South Tyrolean tennis player, number 8 in the draw, easily beat French Alexandre Muller 6-1 6-4 6-1, in an hour and 46 minutes of play. In the next match he will face the German Daniel Altmaier, who created some problems for him on his debut in the last US Open, but who he managed to beat in five sets in the end.
Marco Cecchinato, on the other hand, immediately leaves the scene at his debut at Roland Garros. The Sicilian, semi-finalist in 2018, number 72 in the world, was beaten with the score of 6-1 6-1 6-3 by French Luca Van Assche, number 82 ATP, in two hours of play.

Very good Elisabetta Cocciaretto who, despite a not exactly lucky draw, manages to reach the second round by beating 6-3 6-4, in an hour and 27 minutes of match, the Czech Petra Kvitova, number 10 in the ranking and seeding. For the 22-year-old from Fermo, in her second Grand Slam victory after Wimbledon last year, the second round looks easier as the next rival will be Swiss qualifier Simona Waltert, world number 128.
