Day 1 at Roland Garros saw former world no 1 Andy Murray literally play for the last time in Paris as he was sent packing by Swiss ace, Stan Wawrinka. Other major titles champions who won on Sunday included Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, Sofia Kenin and Jelena Ostapenko. But 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova lost 7-6 (3), 6-4 to Viktorija Golubic, making the 24th-seeded Krejcikova 0-3 in Paris since going 7-0 three years ago to take the title. Amanda Anisimova, an American who reached the 2019 semifinals at Roland Garros as a teenager, defeated Rebecca Šramková 7-6, 6-4. Anisimova had been 1-3 since returning from a groin muscle injury that sidelined her since she reached the Australian Open’s fourth round in January.
