The Russian smashed a ball into his bench next to the umpire’s chair during his first round win over Kwon Soon-woo and was fortunate it did not fly up to hit a ball kid or an official. Ad/> “You don’t want to be hitting balls in anger and hitting ball kids, that can be an expensive mistake, as I found out in 1995…”, Henman told Eurosport, referring to his unfortunate disqualification at Wimbledon 27 years ago.
Novak Djokovic will be aiming for a record-equalling 21st Grand Slam title when the French Open starts on May 22.

Former world No 7 Barbara Schett doesn’t think British sensation Emma Raducanu needs a long term tennis coach right now in order to be successful or dangerous on court.
