Stefanos Tsitsipas survived a first-round scare at the French Open, beating Italian Lorenzo Musetti 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 to advance into the second round on Tuesday. The Greek fourth seed was out of sorts in the first two sets before finding his range to set up a meeting against Czech Zdenek Kolar. "It was a great first round. I'm going to keep working hard to improve and build a relationship with the crowd here," Tsitsipas said on Court Philippe Chatrier. Musetti last year took the first two sets against Novak Djokovic in the last 16 before injury forced the Italian to retire.

The Italian followed up on serve and took a one-set lead as his opponent buried a backhand into the net.
