TENNIS – THE French Open second round gets under way today with a lineup featuring four-times champion Iga Swiatek and 24-times major winner Novak Djokovic.
Second seed Alexander Zverev will continue his quest for a maiden Grand Slam title, while Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini are also set to take centre stage at Roland Garros.
Swiatek faces Czech’s Sara Bejlek. After beating a Frenchman in the first round with a four-set victory over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, third seed Djokovic faces another local hope in Valentin Royer.
When Djokovic played his first-round match, he broke Roger Federer’s record with his 82nd appearance at a Grand Slam.
