PARIS : Three-times major champion Stan Wawrinka crashed out of the French Open in the first round to Frenchman Corentin Moutet on Monday in his first Grand Slam appearance in 18 months.
difícilmente podría haber iniciado su 18ª participación consecutiva en con mejor pie. Y valga el uso de esta frase hecha, porque el izquierdo, que le atormenta desde el inicio de su carrera, no le molestó en su presentación en la Philippe Chatrier contra Jordan Thompson, a quien venció por un triple 6-2 en 2h02. Como curiosidad, es la segunda vez que vence con este marcador en el torneo, después de hacerlo en 2010, también en primera ronda, ante el francés Gianni Mina. El partido fue ideal para el balear, porque el australiano de 28 años y 82º de mundo le dio ritmo y así pudo comprobar que su movilidad está ahí, recuperada. Además, desató su drive, en muchos momentos imponente. Y el resto de sus golpes y mecanismos, salvo algún revés suelto mal ejecutado, funcionaron a muy bien nivel para ponerle sin sobresaltos en la segunda ronda. El miércoles se enfrentará al francés Corentin Moutet, que eliminó al suizo Stan Wawrinka (2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2) y 6-3).

Rafael Nadal began his pursuit of a record-extending 14th French Open title with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Australian world number 82 Jordan Thompson on Monday. Fifth seed Nadal, who could meet reigning champion Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals, improved his Roland Garros record to 106 wins and just three losses since his 2005 title-winning debut.
Rafael Nadal kick-started his bid for a 14th French Open title with a comprehensive 6-2 6-2 6-2 victory over Australian Jordan Thompson.
