Julia Görges could have had that earlier and cheaper: The German won her first appearance at the French Open 2020 against Alison Riske in three sets. If the game could have closed in the second act, yes it had to: Görges had two match points at 5: 3 and Riske serve.

In round two, Görges will meet Laura Siegemund, who won 7: 5 and 6: 4 on the Philippe-Chatrier court after falling 1: 5 in the first set against Kristina Mladenovic. Germany's best player, Angelique Kerber, was eliminated on Monday against the Slownin Kaya Juvan.
