American Amanda Anisimova won against Slovak qualifier Rebecca Sramkova 7-6 (6), 6-4 to reach the second round of Roland-Garros at Roland-Garros in Paris on Sunday evening.
Anisimova, ranked No 237, will play the winner of the match between Russian Liudmila Samsonova, the No 17 seed, and Pole Magda Linette next.
The women’s singles at the French Open 2024 will feature some interesting matches on the opening day. Players who have previously succeeded at this tournament like Amanda Anisimova and Barbora Krejcikova will feature on the opening day.
Amanda Anisimova reached the semifinals in 2019 and Barbora Krejcikova won her only singles Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in 2021.
Without further ado, let’s look at some of the matches on the opening day of the women’s singles at the 2024 French Open (May 26).
Anisimova’s win over Alize Cornet in the opening round at the Charleston Open is the only clay-court win under her belt in 2024. The 2019 semi-finalist had to use the protected ranking provision to enter this year’s tournament.
Rebecca Sramkova, on the other hand, had a good outing at the Italian Open in the buildup to the French Open. The Slovak won 5 straight matches at the tournament (including the qualifiers). She lost to Jelena Ostapenko in the Round of 16. Sramkova won three consecutive qualifiers en route to the main draw at Roland Garros.
