French Open 2018 Results: Winners, Scores, Stats from Monday's Singles Bracket
Novak Djokovic continued his climb back to form and advanced to the second round of the 2018 French Open with a 6-3 6-4 6-4 victory over Rogerio Dutra Silva on Monday.
The Serb opened his campaign at Roland Garros with a rudimentary win, but 23rd seed Stanislas Wawrinka was surprised by Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and fell to a 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3 defeat at the first hurdle.
Rafael Nadal led Simone Bolelli 6-4, 6-3, 0-3 before rain meant their meeting was postponed and will resume on Tuesday morning.
Gilles Muller (29th) and Philipp Kohlschreiber (22nd) were the other seeded stars who dropped on Monday, to Ernests Gulbis and Bernard Coric, respectively.
The favourites largely lived up to expectations in the women's singles, too, as second seed Caroline Wozniacki moved on with a win over Danielle Collins. Madison Keys beat Sachia Vickery 6-3, 6-3 to progress, as did American compatriot CoCo Vandeweghe, who defeated Laura Siegemund 6-4, 6-4.

Recap
Djokovic is still on his way back to becoming the player who reached nine of a possible 12 Grand Slam finals between 2014 and 2016, but the signs of his progress appeared clear en route to beating Brazilian Silva on Monday.
The 2016 French Open winner suffered a break of serve in the opening two sets and outdid Silva 36 unforced errors to 32, per the Roland Garros website, admitting post-match that he's still working out kinks, via Eurosport UK:
That tally of mistakes was little compared with Wawrinka, however, who looked robbed of confidence when he lost 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3 to Garcia-Lopez, committing 72 unforced errors in total; Garcia-Lopez had just 40.
The result also means the Swiss star's substantial drop in the rankings continues, per tennis writer Jose Morgado:
Thiem and Ivaskha recorded just one assist between them as the Austrian strolled to a rather rudimentary 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 win against the Belarusian:
In the women's competition, Australian Open winner Wozniacki continued her brilliant run of form in 2018 with a 7-6 (2), 6-1 triumph against Collins, who simmered in performance after a promising first set.
American Collins looked as though she might contend for a shock result against the No. 2 seed, but a stronger showing from Wozniacki in the second sealed her move into the next stage, via the Tennis Channel:
The Dane will face Georgina Garcia-Lopez, who downed Dalila Jakupovic in straight sets and is searching for another surprise result in just her second appearance at a Grand Slam.
Another Spaniard, Carla Suarez Navarro excelled on clay and started her competition with a demolition of Ana Konjuh 6-0, 6-1, per the BBC's Russell Fuller:
Rafael Nadal takes on Simone Bolelli in Monday's evening slate, while Maria Sharapova faces Richel Hogenkamp as she bids to return to major silverware in Paris.
