That went on the French Open: Bitter! Bencic fails in the first round after a horror start

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

Belinda Bencic (WTA 12) experiences a debacle at the French Open in Paris. The Swiss lost to Jelina Avaneshan of Russia, a loser in qualifying (Lucky Loser) and only number 134 in the world rankings, 3:6, 6:2, 4:6. Bencic was still leading 4-2 in the third set.

However, she relinquishes this lead and concedes the decisive break at 4:4. Moments later, the starting lap is over.

Djokovic went on without losing a set

Two-time French Open winner Novak Djokovic progressed without losing a set. The third in the world ranking from Serbia defeated the American Aleksandar Kovacevic 6: 3, 6: 2, 7: 6 (7: 1).

Djokovic gets a break when he serves to win in the third set, but prevents a set loss against the 24-year-old American with a spotless tiebreak. The two-time tournament winner Djokovic will meet the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics in the 2nd round.

One less number one in the world

Unusual for an American, but Sloane Stephens prefers to play on clay. The 2018 finalist (losing to Simona Halep) finds her sand form right back on the “Court Central”: she beats the No. 16 seeded former world number one Karolina Pliskova in less than an hour and a half 6:0, 6:4. (SDA)
