Day 2 RG Surprises: Shapovalov bounces, Herbert advances

Each day of Roland Garros, Baseline will sum up the action with a photo gallery of the top surprises.

1

Wozniacki Wobbles

Playing with a strapped left calf, Caroline Wozniacki got off to a flawless start to win the first seven games against world No. 68 Veronika Kudermetova. The No. 13 seed somehow lost, 0-6, 6-3, 6-3. Thirteen players have won 6-0 sets, but Wozniacki is the only one, so far, to do it and lose.

Serena Starts Slow

Slow may be an understatement. The No. 10 seed lost the first set to Vitalia Diatchenko, but recovered to win, 2-6, 6-1, 6-0. She was disappointed with her performance, but thrilled with her Virgil Abloh-Nike collaboration outfit.

French Flair

Following in his former doubles partner's footsteps, Pierre-Hugues Herbert pulled off a thrilling five-set win. He took out No. 12-seed Danil Medvedev a day after a world No. 235-ranked Nicolas Mahut outlasted No. 16-seeded Marco Cecchinato. Herbert and Mahut are the doubles defending champions, but Herbert is focusing only on singles.

Denis Gets Denied

Denis Shapovalov entered Roland Garros full of hope as the No. 20 seed, but was ousted in straight sets by Jan-Lennard Struff in his first match. "It's just not clicking," the Canadian teenager said. "I don't think that it's anything specific. I think I'm putting in the work. I think my game is there, but it just hasn't been clicking in the matches."

Yastremska Yanked Out

Daria Yastremska won the Strasbourg title last week over Caroline Garcia in a deciding set tiebreak for her third career title. The 19-year-old was two points from victory against veteran Carla Suarez-Navarro, but ultimately couldn't close, losing 2-6, 7-6 (0), 6-0.
