Round two got underway at Roland Garros this morning.
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic breezed through their respective matches once again in straight sets. It took Djokovic just over two hours to ease past Portugal’s Joao Sousa. The Serb won the match 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 in a comfortable victory.
Nadal won his match by an identical scoreline but finished in under two hours and managed to not drop a single service game, beating Dutch veteran Robin Haase. Both players will continue their push for the title when they play their third round matches on Friday. Nadal will face the Georgian player Nikoloz Basilashvili while Djokovic will face a much trickier opponent in Diego Schwartzman.
It was sad news for the home crowd as Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga bowed out to Argentinian Renzo Olivo who is ranked at 91 in the world. The match was played last night but because of the lack of light it was suspended until this morning. However they only needed to play one more game as Olivo was 2-1 up and was leading 5-4 in the fourth set. He broke Tsonga immediately to win the match and record the biggest victory of his career.
