Holger Rune of Denmark caused a bit of an upset when he knocked out 14th seed Denis Shapovalov of Canada in straight sets but second seed Daniil Medvedev of Russia had an easy passage into the second round.There have not been any upsets in the women’s singles today, but eighth seed Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic needed three sets against Tessah Andrianjafitrimo of France to advance to the second round.

“I’m really positive and working hard every day to get better. This is what you work for every day, to be able to play the biggest tournaments,” the baby-faced teenager with a bright smile told a news conference. A former French Open junior champion at 16, Rune looked extremely comfortable on the red clay on the outside Court 12, cruising through the first two sets in less than an hour with Shapovalov having no answer to his power and serial drop shots.“It’s very natural for me and I think it’s good, especially here on clay when opponents are far behind the baseline, to mix it up. It’s also more fun to watch,” he said.
