ROLAND GARROS, FRANCE

BETTER DAY FOR AMERICAN PLAYERS

[15] John Isner def. [82] Kyle Edmund (GBR) 6-4, 6-4, 6-4

[19] Sloane Stephens def. [161] Veronica Cepede-Royg (PAR) 7-6(0), 6-1

[23] Jack Sock def. [116] Dustin Brown (GER) 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-2

DOUBLES RESULTS

Serena and Venus Williams def. Jelena Ostapenko/Yulia Putintseva 6-2, 6-2

Brian Baker/Marcus Daniel (NZL) def. Marcos Baghdatis/Dmitry Tursunov 6-3, 6-2

[8] Raquel Atawo/Abigail Spears def. Johanna Konta/Maria Sanchez 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-4

 

SPECIAL MENTION

[2] Andy Murray was pushed to his second consecutive five set match in three days.  Despite being physically fit, this may catch up to Murray later in the tournament.  [164] Mathias Bourgue (FRA) almost had the upset of his career, unfortunately, almost does not count. Murray won in 6-2, 2-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

[41] Alexander Zverev (GER) def. [84] Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) 5-7, 6-2, 7-6(6), 7-5.  Zverev will be back on court tomorrow to play another French player, [90] Stephane Robert.  Like Murray, Zverev has to play three consecutive days because his first round match from yesterday had to be completed today.

 

NO MAJOR SEEDS WERE UPSET TODAY

[19] Benoit Paire lost to [79] Teymuraz Gabashvili (RUS) 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 2-6

[27] Ekaterina Makarova lost to [56] Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) 6-2, 2-6, 2-6

[29] Lucas Pouille lost to [133] Andrej Martin (SVK) 3-6, 5-7, 3-6
