Serena Williams needed a tiebreaker to win the first set against Stefanie Voegele on Monday, but rolled in the second set, ultimately winning her first match at the French Open, 7-6, 6-2. After being broken once, the top-seed saved three break points in the first set before winning the tiebreaker 7-2.
Serena served up 10 aces to go along with 22 winners.
On the men’s side, third-seeded Novak Djokovic advanced in four sets over Evgeny Korolev. After dominating the first set, Novak was broken twice in the second set, which he lost 3-6. He quickly bounced back, though, and won the match 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3.
