Aryna Sabalenka made an impressive start to her French Open campaign, not only winning her first-round match against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro with scores of 6-4, 6-2 but also catching attention with her diamond accessories. Light on her feet despite the blazing heat and her thick necklaces, Sabalenka remarked, ''I can imagine how it looks from the outside, but I feel pretty comfortable. Looking good helps me perform better.''

On a day of notable performances, Coco Gauff began her title defense against Taylor Townsend with a convincing 6-4, 6-0 victory. Naomi Osaka also turned heads with her sequined gold dress as she defeated Laura Siegemund. Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev was unable to overcome the scorching conditions and exited in the first round after a grueling five-set match against Adam Walton. Young French player Moïse Kouamé delighted home fans with a historic victory, becoming the first man born in 2008 or later to win a Grand Slam match.
