The game had not started well for the favorite: Novak managed an early break, Austria's number two pulled away to 5-2. However, Zverev won the five following games and quickly pulled away in the second set. In the third act, the native of Hamburg was only given a break to get ahead safely. In round two, Zverev plays either against Michael Mmoh from the USA or Pierre-Hugues Herbert from France.
The match should actually have taken place on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, but was moved to the largest stadium, Court Philippe-Chatrier, at short notice. This has had a roof since this year, but it remained open for the entire season despite constant drizzle.
