Britain’s Cam Norrie crashed out of the French Open after unseeded Adolfo retired injured in his round-one contest against Daniel Vallejo with a set and a break down.
Nori, seeded 20 and coming off the clash with a rib complaint, missed four chances to win the opening set before losing 9-7 in a tie-break to Paraguay’s Adolfo Vallejo.
After falling behind 2-0 in the second set, he shook hands with his opponent and played just two more games after that setback.
Fellow Brit Jacob Fearnley Later fell to Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-2 7-6 (7-0) 7-6 (9-7) in the first round as his campaign came to a quick end.
The result means there are no British players in the men’s draw at Roland-Garros after Jack Draper’s pre-tournament withdrawal due to injury.
“It’s a tough feeling right now,” Norrie said. “I thought I would be ready but it was definitely too early.
“I think I was a little bit mentally tired, mentally not having the ability to take the pain away, put the pain aside and play point for point.”
With just over a week left in the grass season, Norrie was concerned about the risk of a lengthy absence from the tour through a possible fight.
He will undergo another injury test in London on Wednesday and admitted he will miss the ATP event in the Netherlands from June 8, but is confident of playing at the HSBC Championship at Queen’s Club next week.
“That would be my goal,” Norrie said. “And I’m really excited to go play. Maybe the timing is good. I can get a chance to rest.”
Sina defeated Tabur in straight sets
Janic Ciner celebrates beating Clement Tabor
Tournament favourites A mortal sinner His French Open got off to a predictably smooth start, beating the Frenchman Clement Tabor 6-1 6-3 6-4 straight sets win.
The Italian took just 30 minutes to take the first set against his wild-card opponent, who is not ranked higher than 171 in the world.
Despite a promising first third-set break for the hometown hero, Tabor always looked second best to the world number one, who took her first step into a career Grand Slam aged just 24 and extended her winning streak to 30 consecutive matches.
Cena will face Cerundolo – who knocked out Fearnley – in the second round on Thursday.
Medvedev is shocked by the wild card
Daniil Medvedev The 97th-ranked Australian lost to Adam Walton in five sets.
Walton, who received a wild-card invitation from the tournament organizers, beat Medvedev 6-2, 1-6 6-1 1-6 6-4.
“It’s huge,” Walton said of the win in his on-court interview, adding that last year’s victory over Medvedev in Cincinnati gave him the confidence to repeat the feat.
“I knew I could do it and I believed, so I’m happy with my performance. I’m really excited now.”
Koume became the youngest Grand Slam winner for 17 years
French teenager Moise Koume The veteran made the perfect start to his French Open career with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-1 win over Marin Cilic.
39-year-old Frenchman Gael Monfils won in Coume a day after his last appearance at Roland-Garros.
At the age of 17 years and two months, Australia’s Bernard Tomic became the youngest player to win a Grand Slam match at Koume since reaching the second round of the 2009 Australian Open at the age of 16.
He became the youngest player to advance to the first round at Roland-Garros in 1991 at the age of 17 years and one month.
He raised his arms in triumph and tilted his head back after defeating the 37-year-old Cilic, who won the 2014 US Open, finished runner-up at two other majors and reached the semi-finals of the 2022 French Open.
Kouame, ranked No. 318 on the ATP Tour, became the first person born in or after 2008 to win a Grand Slam match, and on a sun-baked court Simone-Mathieu chanted “Mo-ise! Mo-ise! Mo-ise!” They showed their appreciation with slogans. and clapping in between.
“It’s not easy to stay in the moment without thinking about the score,” Koume said. “It wouldn’t have been possible without the huge help you (the crowd) have given me.”
In March, he became the youngest winner in Miami Masters history when he defeated Zachary Svajda in the first round – earning a congratulatory message from Djokovic.
Meanwhile, Stephanos TsitsipasDjokovic was leading 6-2 3-0 against the 2021 runner-up, Alexandre Muller, when his French opponent retired.
