Ben Shelton beat Lorenzo Sonego for the second straight time at a Grand Slam this year, winning 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 under floodlights to reach the second round of the French Open.

Nadal is known as The King of Clay for a reason: 14 of his 22 major titles came at Roland-Garros. The Spaniard won his first French Open in 2005, just days after his 19th birthday, before going on an unprecedented run at the tournament over the following two decades. Nadal won his final French Open in 2022, days after turning 36.

The first day of the French Open at Roland Garros brought a topsy-turvy injury comeback, two wild card wins and a very fast second serve.

Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have shown up at the French Open to participate in a ceremony honoring 14-time tournament champion Rafael Nadal.

After the tournament began in 1891, when Great Britain's H. Briggs took home the title, the French dominated the event. A French player has won the tournament 38 times, with 37 of those coming in the Amateur Era, and only one coming in the Open Era. The win in the Open Era came in 1983, when Yannick Noah took home the title.

Three-times Grand Slam champion Sabalenka ensured everything was on schedule for the ceremony as she cranked up her big serve and forehand in front of a sparse crowd under the roof of the main showcourt to blow away her opponent 6-1 6-0 in an hour.
