Naomi Osaka reached the second round of the French Open for the first time in three years after battling past Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti at Roland Garros on Sunday.
Carlos Alcaraz was also a winner on Day 1, maintaining his perfect record in the first round of Grand Slam events, but Andy Murray lost to Stan Wawrinka in his final appearance at the tournament. Kei Nishikori, meanwhile, advanced to the second round with a 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 1-6, 7-5 win over Gabriel Diallo.
Osaka, who took a 16-month break from tennis to start a family in September 2022, was inconsistent in the opening match on Court Philippe Chatrier but secured a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 victory.
