Félix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez were both winners on day one of the French Open, but Rebecca Marino was defeated.

Now with a set in her pocket, Gauff put the pedal to the metal. The first set was a roller coaster, starting out with Marino breaking serve in the opening game only for Gauff to break right back. However, the Canadian broke in the fourth game to keep the deficit at just one break. However, it did not last as Gauff struck once more, drawing an error to break for the opening set. He created his first break point of the match at 2-1 and converted to take his first lead of the day. There was none of the traditional Fernandez drama early in her clash with Mladenovic, as the former Roland-Garros junior champion exploded out of the gate, racing through the opening set in just 29 minutes. Unlike the previous two sets, the decisive break came late in the set. Auger-Aliassime finished the match with 14 aces and won 83 percent of his first serve points. Auger-Aliassime was now able to move in on return and play his way into the Peruvian’s games. The first two sets were dominated by Varillas, who was cruising on serve, not facing a break point and only losing 11 total points in his own service games. It did not take long in the third set for Auger-Aliassime to start turning the match around. He broke again to send the match to a decider.
