8:19 pm: No more David Goffin
The Belgian doesn't stay with Ricardas Berankis for long, wins 6-0, 6-2, 6-2. And thus also puts a final point behind our ticker Sunday. Until tomorrow.
8.10 p.m .: Kohlschreiber wins in four sentences
That happened relatively quickly: Kohli won the fourth set 6: 1. And can now look forward to a pretty beatable opponent: Nicolas Mahut, who won five sets against Marco Cecchinato.
19:35: Diego does it in five sentences, Kohli has to in the fourth
Diego Schwartzman made it exciting: The Argentinian won in five sets against Marton Fucsovics, 6: 3, 3: 6, 7: 6 (7), 2: 6 and 6: 2. That's what Kohli's fourth sentence is for. You can also follow the match here in the match tracker !
7.30 p.m .: Sloane Stephens continues
Last year's finalist Sloane Stephens is on, even when things got tight in set two. 6: 3, 7: 6 (4) the result against Misaki Doi.
18:39: Elina defeats Venus
Elina Svitolina won the big names in round 1: Gael Monfils' girlfriend won 6: 3, 6: 3 against the battered Venus Williams.
18:33: Kohli with 2: 0 after sentences
6: 4, 6: 4, so the intermediate result at Philipp Kohlschreiber against Robin Haase.
17:52: Karolina Pliskova ...
... is one of the really big favorites in 2019. Reason 1: Conchita Martinez, the clay court-loving Wimbledon winner in the corner. Reason 2: The victory in Rome. Against Madison Brengle it is 6: 2, 6: 3 at the end. Now it's against Kristina Kucova, who took out 2009 Paris winner Svetlana Kuznetsova.
5.48 p.m .: Kohlschreiber wins set 1
Philipp Kohlschreiber is now also on the court. He won the first round 6: 4 against Robin Haase.
5:35 p.m .: Thiem friend Mladenovic continues
For Kristina Mladenovic, things are off to a good start with new coach Sascha Bajin: after a 6: 3, 7: 6 (3) against her compatriot Fiona Ferro, the Frenchwoman is in round 2 and plays against Petra Martic.
5.10 p.m .: Nicolas Mahut takes out 2018 semi-finalist Cecchinato!
This is a surprise: Nicolas Mahut, only with a wildcard in the main field, has turned a 0: 2 set deficit and eliminated last year's Djokovic conqueror - with 2: 6, 6: 7 (6), 6: 4, 6: 2, 6: 4!
5:00 p.m .: Belinda Bencic is through
6: 2, 6: 4 against the Frenchwoman Jessika Ponchet. Now it's up to her against Laura Siegemund.
16:32: Federer in round 2
Rogääääääär is also further : 6: 2, 6: 4, 6: 4, so the bare numbers. As a reward, he can now conduct an on-court interview with Cedric Pioline. The pulse was high, says Federer. And the work on the site was "great," he praises the designers. Everything in French, of course.
16:24: Laura Siegemund wins
Great success for Laura Siegemund: For the first time in her career, she is in the second round of the French Open - 6: 3, 6: 3 in the end it was against Sofya Zhuk. The next opponent could be Belinda Bencic, who leads against Jessika Ponchet
15.55 p.m .: Federer - Sonego 6: 2, 6: 4
It still looks good with Roger Federer.
3:47 pm: Siegemund wins set 1
Against qualifier Sofya Zhuk, the Stuttgart woman currently leads 6: 3, 1: 0.
3:44 pm: Kei Nishikori is also through
15:28: Dimitrov in five
Then he got the curve! Grigor Dimitrov wins 6: 3, 6: 0, 3: 6, 6: 7 (4) and 6: 4 against Janko Tipsarevic. Now there is a possible treat against Marin Cilic!
3:16 p.m .: Federer in shape
6: 2 according to sentence 1 for the maestro.
3:14 p.m .: Roger Federer ... 20 years later
Crazy: Roger Federer played his first Roland Garros in 1999 (!). Back then in the tableau? Christian Ruud. His son Casper is now in the Tableau 2019. And has already won today. Nice background story!
3:03 pm: Federer off to a good start
Speaking of Federer: He has started his game and is already leading 4: 0 ...
14:56: Oscar Otte is through!
From Lucky Loser to Happy Winner! Oscar Otte takes his second chance and wins 6: 3, 6: 1, 4: 6 and 6: 0 against Malek Jaziri! Round two is against Roger Federer or Lorenzo Sonego.
2:47 pm: Tipsarevic forces fifth set against Dimitrov
It looked so good in between for the Agassi protégé, but now is "Tipsy-Time". Score: 6: 3, 6: 0, 3: 6, 6: 7 (4) from Dimitrov's point of view ...
2:40 pm: "FAA" withdraws
Bitter! Felix Auger-Aliassime, who was already struck in Lyon, has to withdraw from the French Open 2019.
2:32 pm: Otte loses set three
But still leads: 6: 3, 6: 1, 4: 6 from his point of view against Malek Jaziri.
14:27: Tsitsipas beats Marterer, Federer starts right away
In the end, Maxi fought bravely, but Tsitsipas was too strong - 6: 2, 6: 2, 7: 6 (4) it says in the end. Bitter for Marterer: He had reached the round of 16 last year, so the world rankings are going down. Next match on the Chatrier: Roger Federer - Lorenzo Sonego!
# BETATHOMEFOWIN #
2:01 p.m .: The schedule for Monday is out
Caroline Wozniacki, Rafael Nadal (against Yannick Hanfmann), Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams have the honor on the chatrier, Dominic Thiem (against Tommy Paul) will play the fourth match after 11:00 on Suzanne Lenglen.
1.40 p.m .: Tsitsipas continues to dominate
6: 2, 6: 2 it is currently against Maxi Marterer.
1:31 p.m .: Lucky Loser Oscar Otte ...
... has taken good advantage of his second chance so far: 6-3 he won the first set against Malek Jaziri.
1:28 p.m .: Cilic is on
Marin Cilic has not yet brought much on the chain in 2019, but won his first round game in Paris: 6: 3, 7: 5, 6: 1 against Thomas Fabbiano. Casper Ruud is also still after a 6: 2, 7: 6 (2), 6: 0 against 2014 semi-finalist Ernests Gulbis.
1:22 p.m .: And probably the ...
... who has none here.
1:20 p.m .: Well ...
... who found a standing place here.
1:12 p.m .: Muguruza is on
And Garbine Muguruza got the turn and celebrated the first victory on the "Greenhouse Court": 5: 7, 6: 2, 6: 2 against Taylor Townsend.
13.09 p.m .: Tsitsipas - Marterer 6: 2
So far nothing has gone wrong for Stefanos Tsitsipas. Well, almost nothing at least.
12.57 p.m .: Tsitsipas fires, Marterer stays tuned
The Greek succeeds directly - and even so he fires pretty well. But Marterer stays on, 2: 3 (with break back) from his point of view.
12.41 p.m .: Now Marterer vs. Tsitsipas
Now Maxi Marterer has his big appearance - and with Stefanos Tsitsipas a big task ahead. Click here for the match tracker!
12.30 p.m .: Muguruza creates sentence equalization
Garbine Muguruza, the 2016 winner, remains in the race, winning the second set against Taylor Townsend 6-2.
12.21 p.m .: Angie Kerber has left
4: 6, 2: 6 against Anastasia Potapova ... Kerber was again shortly before 3: 4 in set two. Then it went away quickly - and Kerber didn't look really fit after her injury .
12.13 p.m .: Petra Martic ...
... is the first winner of the French Open 2019. She beat Ons Jabeur 6: 1, 6: 2 and now meets Kristina Mladenovic or Fiona Ferro.
12.06 p.m .: Grand Slam winners with problems
Several: Muguruza lost Set 1 against Townsend 5: 7, Kerber's 4: 6, 0: 4 ...
11.45 a.m .: Kerber - Potapova: 4: 6
Even though Angie kept catching up. At 4: 5, however, she didn't use a 40: 0. Kerber was too passive, Potapova knocked and hit and put a clear stop in between. Well deserved, the set win for the 18-year-old. But: "Everything is still there," says Barbara Rittner.
11:38: Looks nice ...
... the new court with the greenhouses around it. May calm some players too. By the way: It's 4: 4 between Muguruza and Townsend, as well as Kerber and Potapova. By the way, Potapova screams so loudly "Come oooonnnn" that you should also hear it in the botanical garden.
11:18: Taylor Townsend wins ...
... the first point on the new Court Simonne-Mathieu. Whether it lasts for the last one is questionable against Garbine Muguruza.
11:06 am: Angie Kerber begins
Is there something for Angie Kerber? At least it's against 18-year-old Anastasia Potapova , currently number 81 in the WTA ranking.
10:57: The sponge has to get out
The name "Sam Querrey" has yet to be covered up. He has withdrawn and cannot meet Novak Djokovic in round 2 and organize a second Wimbledon 2016 in Paris. Inside for him: the Swiss Lucky Loser Henri Laaksonen
10:54 a.m .: Fine writing: Note 1
Isn't that great? In Paris, the results are still hand-painted on the large panel next to the chatrier.
10.43 a.m .: (As good as) live there ...
... you are with our tennisnet fan app : Follow your favorite players and get all the information, plus live scores, power trackers, social media posts, rankings ... Just as well-meant advice. ;-)
10:35: Nick Kyrgios is missing this year ...
... but we particularly like to remember the master of the "serve from below" this year. 30 years ago, Michael Chang annoyed the great Ivan Lendl in the round of 16 - and won his first and only Grand Slam tournament in Roland Garros a few days later. If you want to pass the time until 11 a.m., here is a nice background piece (from 2014).
10.18 a.m .: Thiem on Monday, Zverev on Tuesday
In Roland Garros you know how to make money: let many viewers in - and start on Sunday. Ringing. Dominic Thiem is allowed on the court on Monday, as is Nadal and Djokovic. Alexander Zverev has a grace period until Tuesday. But is scheduled for training at 3:00 p.m. on Court 11 today.
10.05 a.m .: The Bull Ring ...
... is still standing this year, this wonderful Court 1. It should be demolished after this year's edition. Because that's the plan: day and night matches at the French Open from 2021. Then there is an area for spectators to wait. Or stroll. Or watch. Or to sip an overpriced ice cream.
9.58 a.m .: Simonne Mathieu ...
... was a French tennis player, by the way, who would have thought it. In 1938 and 1939 she won Roland Garros individually, the older ones of you will remember it.
9.55 a.m .: The new Court
What's new in Paris 2019? Well, the Court Philippe Chatrier was rebuilt once in a while, has new seats and hopefully a roof in 2020. Court Simonne-Mathieu is brand new - and right in the middle of the botanical garden. Everyone raves about it! And he may expand the system a bit, it is pretty damn tight. A nice report from the New York Times with fine photos can be found here by the way.
9:34 a.m .: Little French ...
... like the music, but what the hell. The pictures are beautiful.
9.20 a.m .: Bonjour, dear tennis fans!
Is there a better day than the first of a grand slam tournament? Barely. Not all courts are played in Paris today, but Angie Kerber , Roger Federer and Karolina Pliskova are already at the start. You can find the entire schedule here!
