French Open: Gauff, Jabeur Race Through Their Openers; Join Swiatek, Osaka In Second Round (Ld)
Coco Gauff: American star Coco Gauff scored a swift win as did No.8 seed Ons Jabeur, who also kicked off her campaign on the right foot in women's singles first round at the French Open here on Monday. Gauff, the third seed, put paid to Grand Slam debutante Julia Avdeeva’s hopes of an upset on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, running out a convincing 6-1, 6-1 winner in just 52 minutes.
Jabeur started off her Roland Garros campaign with a solid 6-3, 6-2 defeat of wildcard Sachia Vickery in one hour and 21 minutes on the same court but under the roof.
It was not until the sixth game that the 21-year-old Gauff managed to hold to get her name on the board but it was merely delaying the inevitable as Gauff held to love on a confident drop shot at the 24-minute mark. There was no hiding the looks of despair and mutterings of helplessness towards her box when Avdeeva was broken in the opening game of the second set.
