The third day of the first round of the French Open ended in a gale. The weather was messy and the schedule was well organized.
Arguably, almost all of the most eye-catching matches in the first round were on yesterday's schedule, with the exception of Sinner and Alcaraz.
No. 3 seed ZverevFinally played a good game, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 against the new generation of player Lena Qian. Although Lerna's money skills are quite good, he is still superior to Zverev's real strength. Zverev hit the ball very high quality most of the time.
No. 5 seed DraperThe game is also in the spotlight. Ever since he broke into the top 10 of the ATP, every match has been a hot spot. He lost 3-6 in the first set to Bruch, but won three sets in a row to beat Bellucci 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to advance to the second round.
No. 6 seed Novak DjokovicEliminated American McDonald 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 and easily advanced in straight sets. Completing his 100th career win in Geneva last week, he was able to play easily at Roland Garros this week.
No. 9 seed De Minaur6-3/6-4/7-6(6) over Djere. The game process is not so easy to look at the score, and the score of each set is very tight. Especially in the third set, the difference between victory and defeat was only a millimeter.
No. 11 seed Dmitry MedvedevThe game against Norrie was the most speechless. First, in the first set, he was beaten by Norrie in the service game, and lost a good game 5-7. Later, he broke serve first in the deciding set and dropped the chain when he led 5-4. When everyone thought it must be the result of a reversal against the wind, a scene was exactly the same as the first set!
Alas! What's wrong with Mr. Mei's smart brain?!
No. 16 seed DimitrovRetired when they were 6-2/6-3/2-6 in a big lead. It seems that injuries do not support him to win another set. Regretful. The former handsome guy has become a 34-year-old veteran riddled with injuries in the blink of an eye.
No. 19 seed Mensik7-5, 6-7(5), 7-5, 6-3 over local player Muller. The young-generation athlete stepped into the spotlight after beating Novak Djokovic in Miami.
Fonseca, a new generation of players6-2, 6-4, 6-2 over 30th seed Hurkacz. This result is in line with the expectations of most fans. Perhaps, Hurkacz has not fully emerged from the shadow of last week's defeat to Djokovic in Geneva?
Alas! Master Hu may not care about the championship, but about losing to Djokovic for the eighth time.
However, facing Fonseca's attack, it is completely different from Djokovic's style of play. The former's attack was like a storm, in contrast, the latter's victory was like a spring breeze and ......rain.
No. 17 seed Rublevdefeated South Africa's Haris 3:1 to advance, and finally did not get upset.
Other, slimmer match results are shown in the chart below.
The last game against Monfils is still underway.
Do you think local veterans will turn the tables against the wind?
