Second-seeded Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka recovered from a shaky start to claim victory over compatriot Iryna Shymanovich, beating the qualifier 7-5 6-2 in one hour and 27 minutes to book a spot in the third round of the French Open. "It was a tough match, I'm happy that I was able to fight for every point," Sabalenka said. "I'm not happy with my game today. I'm going to work on short balls and approach shots, and make sure I'm ready in my next match."

1402 BLINKOVA DOWNS GARCIA Fifth seed Caroline Garcia saved eight match points but fell to a 4-6 6-3 7-5 defeat by Russian Anna Blinkova, who also defeated the Frenchwoman at the same stage in the 2019 edition of the French Open.

1330 KASATKINA WINS IN STYLE Daria Kasatkina, a semi-finalist at last year's French Open, moved into the third round with a 6-3 6-4 win against Czech Marketa Vondrousova, which included a spectacular tweener that will likely go down as one of the shots of the tournament.

"It's fun to watch, but to play against Marketa is very tough," Kasatkina said. "Physically it was a big battle, the second set was so tough." 1128 TSITSIPAS DISPATCHES CARBALLES BAENA IN STRAIGHT SETS

Ukraine's Elina Svitolina, a three-time French Open quarter-finalist, advanced to the third round after recovering from a set down to clinch a 2-6 6-3 6-1 victory over Storm Hunter. Elsewhere, 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko crashed out following a 6-3 1-6 6-2 defeat by American Peyton Stearns.

1038 PEGULA THROUGH, GIORGI RETIRES HURT Third seed Jessica Pegula went through to the third round after her opponent Camila Giorgi was forced to withdraw due to injury after dropping the first set 6-2.

0910 PLAY UNDER WAY Play began under sunny skies at Roland Garros, with the temperature hovering around 20 degrees Celsius.

Novak Djokovic will play his second-round match later today. The Serbian has found himself at the centre of a political storm after he wrote on a camera lens that Kosovo was "the heart of Serbia".
