It might be a collective disappointment for American men on French clay in the first round so far, but the bright side is plenty of courageous effort and challenging matches.
No. 14-seed Jack Sock was hammered in straight sets 7-5, 7-5, 6-3 by dangerous lefty Jiri Vesely. It’s a bitter result for Sock after pushing Rafael Nadal to four sets in the 2015 French Open fourth round.
