French Open 2023

Ruud delivered a high-class all-around display for much of the three-hour, four-minute encounter, although Zeppieri deployed his gritty lefty game to good effect to gain a foothold in the match and clinch the third set. The Norwegian's consistently deep groundstrokes proved decisive to his victory as he converted five of 13 break points overall to reach the Roland Garros third round for the fifth year in a row.

The result was Rybakina's eighth straight victory following her first WTA 1000 clay-court title in Rome two weeks ago. The reigning Wimbledon champion extended her overall 2023 record to 32-7, also including the Indian Wells title and Australian Open final on hard courts.

"I've watched Daniil play throughout my entire junior career and up until today," said Seyboth Wild, who will face Argentine Guido Pella in the next round. "I've always dreamed about playing on this court, playing these kind of players. In my best dreams I've been beaten them, so it is a dream come true."

The American tennis player was in a spot of bother in her opening round match against Masarova after losing the first set but fought back and go through 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 on Court Suzanne-Lenglen at the Roland Garros here. She will next face Austria's Julia Grabher, in a rematch from last month's Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier.

Jabeur went back to basics in the second set. A straightforward series of big serves captured the set at the second time of asking, and Jabeur did not attempt another drop shot for several games as she took a 5-0 second-set lead. The artist in her couldn't resist bringing it back out for another flourish, though.
