Osaka and Anismova has been a largely even contest so far, going with serve, though Osaka can claim the first set with a break of serve with the score at 5-4. Her own serve did not exactly look tip-top in the last game.
En Paris, il fait mauvais, so it feels like this could be a day spent on the show courts only. On Suzanne Lenglen, Naomi Osaka, will kick off early doors with her match against Amanda Anisimova, the 27th seed. And on Philippe Chatrier, it’s the no 1 seed, Iga Swiątek takes on Lesia Tsurenko, the Ukrainian, who is likely t0 have the crowd on her side. And in the men’s, Novak Djokovic, back playing grand slam tennis, begins his assault on the title he won for the second time last year, by taking on Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. Djoko is last on Philippe-Chatrier, whereas Rafa Nadal, looking for a title number 14, take the lunchtime shift, playing Australia’s Jordan Thompson.
