Another obstacle on top seed Iga Swiatek's path to a second French Open title was removed on Wednesday as fourth seed Maria Sakkari was knocked out 7-6(5) 7-6(4) by Czech Karolina Muchova in the second round at Roland Garros.
Last year's French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas battled back from two sets down to defeat Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in a late-night thriller at Roland Garros.
PARIS (Reuters) - Highlights of the third day at the French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, on Tuesday (times GMT):
Paula Badosa made quick work of French wildcard Fiona Ferro by winning 6-2 6-0 in under an hour to book a spot in the second round of the French Open on Tuesday and boost her confidence following a dip in form earlier this month. The Spaniard, who had cited mental fatigue as one of the reasons for early exits in Rome and Madrid this month, required just 54 minutes for her opening win. She looked in top form as she chased the 25-year-old Ferro across the court with her trademark thundering groundstrokes but said she had felt pressure even though it did not show.

encaraba con dudas. «No llego como me gustaría», dijo en Madrid antes de viajar el miércoles pasado a París. Metida en ambiente y en las rutinas de un campeonato de tamaña importancia, fue recuperando la confianza () hasta presentarse este martes en una Philippe Chatrier un tanto desangelada (jugaban a la misma hora otros dos franceses en la Lenglen y la Mathieu) para deshacerse con una contundencia tremenda de una jugadora local, Fiona Ferro (25 años y 130ª), que demostró una falta de forma y de tenis considerable, y no fue capaz de meterse en ningún momento en el partido, ante el torbellino que fue la española. Apenas 54 minutos después del inicio del duelo, Badosa había ganado por 6-2 y 6-0 tras ceder 23 puntos, sólo dos en el segundo set. El jueves se enfrentará en segunda ronda a la eslovena Juvan, que pudo con la rusa de la previa Selekhmeteva (7-5 y 7-6 (4)).
Spain’s Paula Badosa made light work of French wild card Fiona Ferro to reach the second round at Roland-Garros. With defending champion Barbora Krejcikova and top-10 seeds Anett Kontaveit, Ons Jabeur and Garbine Muguruza all out of the tournament already, those capable of challenging the in-form world No. 1 Iga Swiatek are diminishing by the day.
