The French Open kicked off with exciting matches as Carlos Alcaraz, Andrey Rublev, and Hubert Hurkacz advanced to the second round with impressive wins.

In addition to Alcaraz, other top players like Naomi Osaka and Jelena Ostapenko also secured wins to progress to the next round.

Despite the French hopes of a home champion being dampened by Ugo Humbert’s defeat, fans remained excited to see their players in action. French stars like Caroline Garcia, Richard Gasquet, Chloe Paquet, and Corentin Moutet took to the court, drawing enthusiastic support from the local crowd. With a mix of established champions and up-and-coming talents, the French Open promises to deliver thrilling tennis matches in the days to come.
