The demonstration
Quickly done well done.
Novak Djokovic did not drag against the modest Mikael Ymer, swept 6-0, 6-2, 6-3, in 1h37 of play. Special mention for the first act completed in 20 minutes, where the Serbian released the big one Game.
And like this control, Djokovic won the boss - in three short sets - for his first round against Mikael Ymer ⬇️https: //t.co/iN2jYmQ9f4

The remountada
Sunday winner of the Hamburg tournament and real outsider in this tournament, the Russian Andrey Rublev, needed five sets to overcome the American Sam Querrey (6-7, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4 , 6-3), all after conceding the first two innings.
The world number 12 will have the opportunity to gain further strength in the next round against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, first round scorer of Harold Mayot.
The remountada (bis)
Like Rublev, his executioner in the final, the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered martyrdom for his entry into the tournament.
And like the Russian, he has come a long way.
Led two sets zero by the Spaniard Munar, he reversed the scenario of a poorly embarked first round, winning at the end of the suspense (4-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6- 4).
Tsitsipas survives!

The rain
A regular guest since the start of the tournament, the rain further delayed the programming on Tuesday.
Around 2 p.m. the matches were covered and the courts were interrupted for almost two hours, except for the one lost by Kristina Mladenovic against Laura Siegemund, played under the Philippe-Chatrier roof.
Fears
Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin suffered to win her 1st round at Roland Garros.
The No. 4 seed needed three sets to dominate Russia's Liudmila Samsonova, 117th in the world. 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
It was also complicated for the Czech Karolina Pliskova, seeded 2, falling at the end of the suspense of the Egyptian Mayar Sherif, 172nd in the world (6-7, 6-2, 6-4).
Pliskova resists.
2nd seed @KaPliskova outlasts Egyptian threat Mayar Sherif, 6-7 (9) 6-2 6-4 and advances to the second round.

The phrase
“With this double bounce, at the time of the set point, I should have had 6-1.
The chair judge seems to have been the only one not to see him.
You can call it the turn of the game.
(insists) It should have been 6-1.
I don't know what the outcome of the game would have been if it had been 6-1, but it was a key moment.
She will continue Roland-Garros, I won't… ”Out in the first round, the Frenchwoman did not digest the big referee error which greatly disturbed her during her match against Laura Siegemund…

The shot
Outclassed by Novak Djokovic, the Swede Mikael Ymer still provided the show, thanks in particular to a fantastic exceptional tweener which turned into perfect passing.
Much to the delight of the meager audience on the Philippe Chatrier.
Shot.
Of. The.
Day.

The blue flop
Young Mosellan Ugo Humbert (22) fell from a high Tuesday against Australian Marc Polmans (122nd world), in four sets (6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3).
A stop for the 38th world who had carried out a campaign full of promises on earth ...

The marathon (lost)
Holder of an invitation, the French Quentin Halys missed a match point and was eliminated in the first round by the American Marcos Giron (7-5, 3-6, 6-7 [5], 7-5, 8- 6).
The current 202nd player in the world, however, led two sets to one and 2-0 in the fourth set.
He even got a match point in the fifth set, 6-5 in his favor on the American's serve, before losing in 4:22.
The mask
Dad but also coach of Stefanos Tsitispas, Apostolos showed his support for his son with a mask in his effigy during the reassembly of his son.
Showing support in 2020 looks a little different, but we're here for it @ StefTsitsipas # RolandGarrospic.twitter.com / PxbIJ1Bqi3
