ROLAND GARROS – Not much of a court (No. 12) for Denis Shapovalov vs. Holger Rune, which set up as a feisty encounter but in the end, was a straight-sets win for Rune on a day Shapovalov said he just “didn’t show up.
Also entering the fray were Daniil Medvedev. Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner and – in “la night session”, No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas got a pretty good fright from Lorenzo Musetti. But in the end the Italian, once again, showed that he might have two sets of world-class Slam tennis in him, but not three.
