14:41 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 7: 5, 5: 4

Match ball Sinner, which Herbert Nervenstark fends off with an ace. With a good slice, the Frenchman takes the ball shortly afterwards and transforms it with another strong serve. That was fighting strong from the 30-year-old, and now Sinner has to bring the match to an end with his own serve.

14:38 Uhr – Medvedev – Bublik – 6: 3

Three set balls for Medvedev. Bublik fends off the first two, the first with a serve from below. But on the third, the Kazakhs served the double fault. The Russian won the first round with 6: 3.

14:33 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 7: 5, 4: 3

Herbert brings his service through to 3: 4 and gets loud applause from the audience. But Sinner still has a break lead in the fifth set and “only” has to play through his service games.

14:28 Uhr – Medvedev – Bublik – 4: 2

Medvedev was able to do the service for the Kazakhs again and is now serving at the score of 3: 2. And he does that very safely. After a backhand mistake by Bublik from the baseline, the score is 2: 4 from the outsider’s point of view.

14:21 Uhr – Medvedev – Bublik – 1: 2

Break and rebreak on the Philippe Chatrier. Medvedev had to give up his service, but immediately took back the service game from Bublik.

14:16 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 7: 5, 2: 0

Sinner is likely to have wished for the start of the fifth sentence to be similar. The Italian takes the service from his opponent. Herbert then takes a very big risk to get the rebreak, but makes the mistakes.

14:11 Uhr – Medvedev – Bublik – 0: 1

The first-round match between Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik has just started on the Philippe Chatrier court. World number two, Medvedev, faces a difficult task. Sand is not the Russian’s best surface, and he has not yet won a match in Roland-Garros.

14:06 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 7: 5

With a serve on Herbert’s body, Sinner gets two set balls. And then Herbert’s forehand attack flies far out. It’s the fifth round.

14:02 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 6: 5

Two double errors in a row from Herbert give Sinner two break chances. And on the first, the Italian’s return lands exactly on the baseline. Break for Sinner to 6: 5.

13:58 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7, 5: 5

With a score of 4: 5 in the fourth set, Sinner has to go through the debut. Only two points separate Herbert from the sensation. But Sinner keeps his concentration, serves strong and then keeps track of the network. 5: 5.

1:50 p.m. – Gojowczyk – Mager – 2: 6, 6: 3, 4: 6, 5: 7

Gojowczyk’s forehand crossball turns out to be too long, and that means that the German has match ball against them. Mager forgives that with a quick mistake. But with well-placed strokes and a strong crossball at the end, the Italian gets chance number two. Gojowczyk’s backhand landed in the net, and the tournament is over for the lucky loser.

13:37 Uhr – Swiatek – Juvan – 6: 0, 7: 5

Juvan also fends off the third match point, this time with a great winner against the direction of her opponent. With the backhand crossball, Swiatek gets possibility number four. And that’s it! The defending champion closes the bag on the net and reaches round two.

13:35 Uhr – Swiatek – Juvan – 6: 0, 6: 5

With a winner on the net after a hard-fought rally, Swiatek gets her first match point. Juvan countered that with a strong serve. But then the Slovenian tries to stop, it goes wrong, and Swiatek has chance number two. She forgives them with a forehand error.

1:22 p.m. – Marterer – Krajinovic – 4: 6, 1: 6, 6: 7

Marterer now acts too incorrectly in the tie-break, quickly gives away many points. 5: 2 for Krajinovic. The German makes the point, but then acts much too hastily on the return and has three more match points against him. With the forehand, Krajinovic transforms the first to 7: 3 in the tie-break and ultimately the clear three-set victory.

1:15 p.m. – Marterer – Krajinovic – 4: 6, 1: 6, 6: 6

Krajinovic’s forehand longline fits exactly. Match point number four. But Marterer can also fend off this one more time, this time forcing his opponent to make a forehand error. He finally wins the game after all, and it goes into the tie-break here as well.

1:13 p.m. – Marterer – Krajinovic – 4: 6, 1: 6, 5: 6

Marterer fends off two match points with great serves. But then the German’s longline ends up out of bounds, and Krajinovic has chance number three. Marterer answers with an ace.

13:10 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 7

A service winner from Herbert gives the French two set balls. And the Frenchman transforms the first one after a courageous serve with a volley on the net. The audience cheers. 7: 4 for Herbert in the tiebreak.

13:07 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 6

The tiebreak begins with four mini breaks in a row. Nobody has been able to maintain their service yet. Sinner is now the first to succeed when Herbert pulls over on the return. The French responded with a service winner to 3: 3 when changing sides.

13:04 Uhr – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 6

After almost certain of the third set, Herbert now serves against the loss of the passage. But that was mainly due to a clear increase in Sinner and not because the French became weaker. Now Herbert shines with some spectacular points, including a spectacular stop in front of the body. It goes into the tiebreak.

12:56 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 5: 5

A backhand pass by Sinner still fits exactly into the corner of the field. 0:30 when Herbert serves. And then the French fail in the volley, and the South Tyrolean has three break chances. And Sinner transforms the first with a tough return. 2: 5 becomes 5: 5!

12:52 p.m. – Gojowczyk – Lean – 2: 6, 6: 3, 4: 6

If Peter Gojowczyk wants to stay one more round in the tournament, he has to go the full distance. The German has just lost the third set against Gianluca Mager 4-6.

12:50 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 3: 5

That is typical of Sinner’s appearance today. The youngster initially shines with a nice backhand with his back to the ball, only to blunder with his forehand in the rally. Nevertheless, he gets a break chance after a strong return. And he transforms that with a good forehand. Sinner shortened to 3: 5.

12:45 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 2: 5

Very strong return from Herbert on a cautious second serve by Sinner. Again the Frenchman has a break chance. And he transforms it along the line with a very nice backhand. 5: 2 for Herbert in the third set. A little surprise is looming here.

12:42 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 2: 4

It is slowly becoming critical for Sinner. The South Tyrolean also had to give up his service in the third sentence. He tries to set the pace in the match, but Herbert holds against it well and with a nice length in his strokes. And too many rallies currently end with mistakes by Sinner.

12:39 p.m. – Marterer – Krajinovic – 4: 6, 1: 6, 1: 2

Marterer has just had two break chances, but his opponent was able to fend off both. In the second, Krajinovic caught the German on the wrong foot and transformed with a beautiful stopball. At the next rally, the Serb uses the same tactic again and is successful again. Krajinovic brings the game to 2-1.

12:35 Uhr – Swiatek – Juvan – 6: 0

That was Swiatek’s speed. The first sentence on the Philippe Chatrier took just 24 minutes. With 6: 0, the Polish won the passage against Juvan.

12:30 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6, 2: 1

Sinner had the physiotherapist come to the square. The Italian seems uncomfortable. There is also a doctor who takes the youngster’s pulse. But apparently everything is fine so far. The doctor gives Sinner the okay so that the match can continue.

12:25 Uhr – Swiatek – Juvan – 3: 0

The defending champion opens the action on the Philippe Chatrier today. And Iga Swiatek made a lightning start. The Polish broke her opponent Kaja Juvan from Slovenia straight away and leads 3-0.

12:20 p.m. – Gojowczyk – Mager – 2: 6, 6: 3

John Millman from Australia was supposed to play against the Italian Gianluca Mager in eighth place. But Millman is out, and that was the luck of Peter Gojowczyk, who slipped into the main draw as a lucky loser. The second movement has just ended. And the German won after losing the first round.

12:16 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 6

Not much comes together at Sinner now. Twice in a row he fails on the return. Then he delivers Herbert a penalty on the net, which the French easily converts. Three set balls for the underdog. And then Sinner messes up with the backhand to make it 6: 4 for Herbert.

12:11 pm – Sinner – Herbert – 6: 1, 4: 5

Youngster Jannik Sinner is on duty on the Suzanne Lenglen court. In the first round everything went according to plan for the South Tyrolean against the Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert. In the second, Sinner was too unstable and is one break behind. Herbert serves in a few moments to compensate for sentences.

12:05 p.m. – Marterer – Krajinovic – 4: 6, 1: 3

The start of Maximilian Marterer, who successfully fought his way through the qualification, into the main round did not go as desired. The German lost the first set against Filip Krajinovic and is also a break behind in the second.
