The 19-year-old French hit hard against the Italian Marco Cecchinato, for his first match at Porte d’Auteuil.

Luca Van Assche, a 19-year-old Frenchman (82nd in the world), was unfazed on the court today and simply unplayable. In three sets, he disposed of the Italian Marco Cecchinato (72nd in the world) who only got angry when he saw that there was nothing to do against Van Assche. Final score 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 for his first at Roland-Garros in 1h58 on court N°14 which decidedly succeeded well for the French after Lucas Pouille.

He will play the scorer of Arthur Fils in the next round the seeded number 29, the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, scorer in the first round of the other hope of tricolor tennis, Arthur Fils (6-1, 4-6, 6 -3, 6-3). Van Assche is not a newcomer to Roland-Garros, however, since he won the junior tournament there in 2021, at the expense of … Arthur Fils.
